About Sandbox
This is a place for a few people who work at a newspaper in Kitchener-Waterloo to share stories and pictures that wouldn't necessarily fit in newsprint.
Think of Sandbox as an online magazine that collects extraneous journalism. If therecord.com was a DVD, we'd be the special features.
Current contributors: David Bebee, Colin Hunter, Ben Gelinas, Chris Wilson-Smith, Karlo Berkovich, Ryan Chen-Wing, Dan Belgue and Amy Fuller.
