Trailers on the street

No offense to the Press-Telegram’s Paul Eakins–but, really, someone kill me if I ever read another P-T Long Beach City Council story that leads with an item about parking trailers on the street. It’s not a badly executed story–and, yes, there are streets in Long Beach, and some people must park trailers on them. It just feels like minutia, and I have a sneaking suspicion that I’ll turn into Andy Rooney if I read it. And no one wants that.

I blame Andy Rooney–and trailers. And Eakins, for his dry spin on the meeting. Sometimes, a city council story is just a city council story.

Elsewhere in the P-T, Eakins does fine with more space and a decent deadline, dueting with Hanna Chu for a nicely done examination of the recently relocated and redone day laborers site up by the Signal Hill Home Depot.

That’s a story I actually wanted to read–and I did.
