Good morning, Stockton.
We’re pressing pause on the Morning Briefing for a few days this Thanksgiving weekend, but we couldn’t step away without saying how grateful we are for you. Every time you open this newsletter, share a story or send a tip, you remind us why local news matters — and who we’re doing it for.
We’ll be back next week with the latest from around the city. Until then, we hope your holiday is full of rest, good food and people who make you feel at home. Thanks for being part of the Stocktonia family.
