Ready for Some Football? … Read the Resident

WGx presents a new (mostly-weekly) feature that we’re calling “Reasons to Read The Resident” … you know, just in case yours is still out on your driveway soaking wet from Sunday’s weird weather

————–

Since the Willow Glen Resident doesn’t usually appear on the newspaper’s own website until several weeks after print publication, WGx thought you might want to know what’s in it. And for those of you who like your news online, WGx has scoured the internet for these stories to see if maybe they are available somewhere else …

While we can’t reproduce the whole paper online, here are some of the bigger headlines from Friday, September 11, 2009:
