In just a few short days we’re going to reach the close of another decade, and here in the Bay Area an awful lot has happened over the course of that decade -- from athletic triumphs, to the tech boom and backlash, to a series of punishing wildfire disasters -- so after a whole decade of nonstop Bay Area news, the question is what’s still worth remembering?
