Living in infamy for the foreseeable future, 2020 was quite the year. And like pretty much everything, 72 Hours did not avoid its wrath.
On March 26, the weekly publication ran for the last time as a separate tabloid, getting smaller and thinner in the weeks leading up to the eventual switch to the broadsheet form readers have seen in the paper for the past nine months.
It made sense. COVID-19 put a hard and fast stop to all in-person events and a countywide shutdown that made even going to restaurants and bars completely out of the question. There was no need for a multi-page publication letting people know what was going on around town, as pretty much nothing was going on â at least not in person.
