God, the Willamette Week fucking sucks. Not particularly a comment on this specific article, I'm just reminded every time I read something they put out that there is not a single good writer on their staff. Perfectly fine journalists, but perfectly shitty writters.

Sidenote, I live 2 or 3 blocks from the husband's trailer park. Weird knowing all these street names, I don't think I've ever had that experience before.

WW gets what it pays for. I've known full time bartenders who were frequent contributors, they didn't make much off their writing.

Richard Meeker was the longtime publisher, he lived across the street from a cafe I managed. He seemed to have plenty of dough. I've never known another white guy who could pull off seersucker suits like he could. His wife sits on the Oregon Court of Appeals. I always suspected that he was screwing the nanny. Nice enough guy, charming, decent tipper.
