With the arrival of 2026, we’re officially halfway through the 2020s. Hard to believe 2030 is now starting to peek its head around the corner.
As is tradition here at The Chronicle, we’re using the January issue to take a look back at the previous year and, in particular, of the most popular articles from each month, measured by their online view count.
It’s been a year of highs and lows. The Northside Chronicle celebrated our 40th anniversary, but at the same time, the Northside lost many of its most prominent citizens during the year.
We’ll take a look at all that and more. So without further adieu, let’s begin.
Check out the January 2026 issue to get the full story.
