I grew up in L.A. and lived there 31 years before moving to NY state. When we visit L.A. we usually pick up a LAT once to check on local events. The thing is truly dreadful and unreadable — and had become so long before I left. Reading the front and opinion pages is like picking up Pravda, and the obsequious mewlings over every bit of celebrity minutia unintentionally make Hollywood look repellant (which it is).

I still pine for the L.A. Herald-Examiner. Now that was a paper.
