By far the biggest splash this week was the news that Target will be opening a small city store in downtown Berkeley. But this week also had thousands of readers poring over the latest on the so-called soda tax; questions about perceived overcrowding at Berkeley schools; continued debate about whether our police force should have Taser guns; and our report on an “alcohol-alternative” bar coming to town.
Here are the 5 stories from last week that you won’t want to miss:
- Target to open small city store in downtown Berkeley
- Squeeze at Berkeley schools a result of state-mandated transitional kindergarten classes
- Judge changes Berkeley “soda tax” ballot language
- City of Berkeley solicits Taser study; anti-Taser group holds forum
- An alcohol-free bar for Berkeley and a new speakeasy in Alameda
