Photos: Union of Youth Smack-down on heroin forum at Armory

Griff Wigley posted on Aug 13 2007 at 08:01

The Northfield Union of Youth (AKA ‘The Key’) held a ‘drug solution community action meeting’ at the Armory last Thursday night. They billed it: The Smack-Down on Heroin. Executive Director Josh Hinnenkamp has blogged the event along with a album of photos, one of which I’ve stolen.

Here’s the slideshow, or see my photo album.
