Every December, Xpress acknowledges our planet’s latest journey around the sun with our annual Year in Review. In past editions, the tradition has involved a series of questions on a variety of local topics directed at a large number of community members and elected leaders.
But this time around we switched things up, creating a month-by-month recap to spotlight the people and events that made headlines in 2024.

Grab this week’s paper for the complete Year in Review. We’ll be sharing month-by-month highlights online throughout the next two weeks.
