15 years gone: RIP Tucson Citizen https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/opinion/report/051519_citizen/15-years-gone-rip-tucson-citizen/
I've got one of those calendars atop my monitor, the type you find in banks, with metal tiles for the days of the week, dates and month. One side I keep up to date. The other, no matter the date, says "Fri May 15." That's the last day the newsroom of the Tucson Citizen was filled with hustle and bustle.
