This is just a small selection of the stories Berkeleyside has published in the past week. We have literally dozens of stories on our to-do list every week — stories on education, crime, development and culture that directly impact all of us who live in Berkeley.
We can’t research and write these stories without your support. Please help us continue to break news and give the community a voice by becoming a Berkeleyside supporter — for as little as $5 a month. By doing so, you will be helping to champion independent local journalism in this crazy city we all call home. Thank you.
Have a relaxing Fourth of July weekend — remember to tell us all about it — and see you back on Tuesday July 5th.
