Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.

Photographer Brandon Marshall was on hand to capture the scene. Check out a sampling of his photos below, and to see the complete 4/20 weekend smokeout at Civic Center Park slideshow, click here.
