Navel gazing: February 2008 Archives

The Todd Blog

| | Comments (0) |
Former Star-News reporter Todd Ruiz debuts his new Todd Blog with a post on how walking the "wrong way" around the Rose Bowl could (maybe?) become a crime. Tonight's meeting at 7 p.m. in the Mediterranean Room at Brookside Clubhouse, 1133 Rosemont Ave., will address the contentious issue that has pitted pedestrians versus the peloton. We've received a couple comments (here and here) about this on Under the Dome, so tonight's meeting should make for some pretty good fireworks.

Appearances deceive

"Walt's a savage!," reporter Robert S. Hong declares after spending a day careening around No Man's Land. It's a label of respect from Robert after seeing the gadget-dripping man in action.

That characterization would strike the many who've met veteran Star-News photographer Walt Mancini as unlikely, however. Good-hearted, generous and kind are the labels usually with the easy-going Pasadenan.

But don't be fooled. He's a fearless, steel-nerved photojournalist and if you try to tell him not to take a picture ... well ... I don't recommend it.
