Sheds in residential neighborhoods usually don’t end up being the subjects of news stories, much less the Current‘s most-read story of the week. Unless, that is, they happen to be listed for sale with a $250,000 price tag.

Other top-performing stories for the week included a piece on longtime TV news anchor Isis Romero landing a new gig at the same station where her hubby works and a profile of Cat Palace, a local operation that restores classic skateboard decks, makes colorful art prints and a whole lot more.
