POT NOT WORTHY OF FRONT PAGE

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."
