Today’s newsletter is presented by Kaiser Permanente.
Hello, La Mesa!
We have another print edition coming out tomorrow. This one features Flag Day photos, which feels apt a week ahead of the 4th of July and all of the 250-years celebrations going on.
Most of the main articles you will have seen in this newsletter before, but here’s a rundown in case you didn’t get a chance to read them yet.

We also look at two types of seniors. One group went to prom and another graduated. Can you guess which is which?
And eschewing the typical beach reads, the La Mesa librarians had some American coming-of-age tragedies to check out. I’ve read two of their three picks, which makes me think I should try the book that inspired the column’s theme: “Demon Copperhead.”
