DeKALB – DeKalb Mayor Kris Povlsen remembered the triumph of Lehan Drugs’ decision to refrain from selling cigarettes. He remembered the heartache of Feb. 14, 2008. He even remembered his first job in DeKalb as a waiter.

For 70 minutes, Povlsen relived some of the biggest moments that have shaped DeKalb during his viewing of “Wired: The DeKalb Documentary” Monday at the Egyptian Theatre.

“It shows the rich history of this community and the people who lived it,” Povlsen said. “It’s a great combination of showing the strength and nurturing of the community today and
the vibrant history of the past.”
