We’re back, baby!

Now well into our 30th year of publication (our 30th anniversary will be Sept. 4, 2011), we’re building up to that notable anniversary by, among other things, republishing the first year’s issues online every two weeks and running a contest to spot vintage ads from some of our original advertisers in each week’s paper.

And, after a brief hiatus, we’re back with “30 Things”: our lists of 30 notable (or laughable or lamentable) takes on the Chronicle‘s coverage, culture, and commentary from the past three decades. This week, look for Kimberley Jones’ sly commentary on our foresight, “30 Ideas, Institutions, Musical Genres, etc., the ‘Chronicle’ Has Declared Dead,“ and the upcoming “30 Angry Letters,“ curated by “Postmarks” stalwart Mark Fagan.

You can find it all on our website: austinchronicle.com/year30.
