It is with “awwwww” that I read The Columbian newspaper. Pot stores have a strong impact on our news reporting. In the March 5 issue: a huge picture and story, “Gorge town gets into pot business,” about a new city-owned pot store opening in North Bonneville; it’s not only on most of the front page but continues on about two-thirds of the following page. Also, there’s a March 4 story, “Main Street’s ‘marijuana traffic’ packs the parking,” about how parking in downtown Vancouver is causing problems because of the pot stores.
I realize I am old and boring and these are different times than when I grew up … but, really? I just do not understand the concept of “front page news.”
