That article's a bit late to the party.

Ah, the Newspaper of Record proving yet again just how worthless it has become in the 21st century.

I guess this "reporter" needed something to print to keep his boss happy. It must be easy to be a reporter. Just do nothing until your forced to create an article, then check an internet forum board to see what the freaks are yelling about this week and write it up.

It's Brooks Barnes. He's useless.

It was a pointless article but the mocking tone in the first couple of paragraphs did make me laugh a bit. If the NYT needs someone to write stories on the ridiculous obsessions of Disney Park fans I'd be happy to take the job! My first piece would be an exposé on the Star Wars Land construction paparazzi.

Your follow-up should be called ‘I Saw a Crane: A Tale of Childhood Memories Destroyed’

What's interesting is an AP story also crossed the same day, same topic.

It just seems obvious we should all be going to the NY Times for:

California Today
A morning update for readers interested in California.

Maybe they should rename the column 'California Three Months Ago'

I like the article about Jewish delis disappearing. There isn't anywhere in this town you can get a good pastrami on rye or a fresh bagel anymore!

Is Canter’s Deli on Fairfax still around?

Sure is. I remember going there as a kid. The prices have sure gone up though.

You tell us.






Just kidding. Yes, it is.
Canter's

In the cosmic scheme of things that the NYT covers a new ToT overlay is not pressing news. It's fine to do as a 'slice of CA life' piece but I agree it needed more substance.

Their CA section is pretty new and experimental for them. If I were the cynical type, I would think it's mainly there for the Hollywood elites who travel back and forth between LA and NYC.

The Sunday crossword, though, almost always has a reference to some part of Disney culture.
