photographers? And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met numberless amazing people, seen a million nooks and crannies of this fair town, and thoroughly enjoyed every one of the 1,399 tacos I ate at Taqueria Los Charros on Dana Street. A lot can happen in a halfdecade, and did, especially to my profession, which saw hundreds of journalists fall by the wayside in the Bay Area alone. The general decline in newspaper revenue led to consolidation at the Voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent company, resulting in its offices being moved to Palo Alto not long ago. Remember that trusty old building on Evelyn Avenue, the low-slung white cinderblock thing across from the train station? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not there anymore. Another big change was the push to online a couple years ago, which basically forced us to shift from weekly to daily coverage. At first I worried weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d devolve into a tin-eared wire service, but I think we managed to step things up while retaining the Voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinctive voice. There are so many stories I never got a chance to tell you. Like that of Mountain View resident and Army Corps of Engineers man Rock Donahue, who was promoted to brigadier general earlier this month at the Corpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division headquarters in San Francisco. (His twin daughters Morgan and Taylor are freshmen at Mountain View High School.) Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Martin Littler, English troubadour of the Senior Center, who plays guitar and sings to the amusement of his peers. Somehow Littler ran afoul of the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreation manager after singing a specific song â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though he never could figure out which one. Last I heard, a petition in support of Littler was being circulated among the seniors there. Those stories, along with countless others, will have to wait. Luckily for Voice readers, you are now in the capable hands of Andrea Gemmet, a veteran journalist who will bring fresh eyes and ears to the Story of Mountain View while maintaining the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality and character. Adieu, then, and thanks for reading. V
