It was a week of looking back at the most enduring stories Berkeleyside ran this year. But the news didn’t stop happening just because we were taking a moment to reflect. We reported on the double shooting on Sacramento Street, a lawsuit against Pacific Steel, and a two-house fire on Miller Avenue. And we also published a heartfelt personal thank you to the Berkeley Fire Department by a Berkeley resident whose house was saved in a blaze earlier this month.
