PREVIEW: The Northside Chronicle turns 40

By Sean P. Ray | Managing Editor

Those of our readers who pay close attention to our masthead on the front page may have noted that The Chronicle hit a significant milestone this year.

With the ticking over to Volume 41, The Chronicle has officially been in publication for 40 years! The Northside Chronicle launched in 1985 with a combined February-March edition (hence why we’re marking the occasion in this issue instead of January’s issue).

While relatively young by the standards of many newspapers (The New York Times is 173 years old, after all), it is still a remarkable show of longevity.

With that in mind, we’ve decided to take a look back to The Chronicles of yesteryear, to see how news on the Northside has revolved. We’re going to take a look at our February 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015 editions, to see what were some of the major headlines in each decade The Chronicle has been active.

We hope you enjoy and keep supporting The Northside Chronicle so we can reach 50 years in 2035!

Check out the February edition of The Chronicle for the full story.
