June Casagrande says:
Funny you should ask
I only thought of it because recently I happened to add an old article about it to Red Room: http://www.redroom.com/articlestory/i-was-a-teenage-melons-girl
Ericka Lutz says:
Enjoyed the story, June!
Enjoyed the story, June!
June Casagrande says:
Thanks!
Funny story about that story. A few months after I met my husband, it came up in conversation that I'd worked there. He mentioned having read an article about something similar. I showed him that article and it turned out that that was the one he had meant. So he read me a couple years before he met me.
It was surprising because he did not live in the newspaper's circulation area. (Article was in a Santa Monica supplement to the LA Times. Ted lived in the Valley.) One of Ted's co-workers had brought in the newspaper that day.
That never happened to me before. (Yet another sign I was on to something special!)

I'm up to my ears in those spam ads!
My husband always says, "Hey, I never get male enhacement spam! What websites have YOU been going to?"
How do you convince someone that you didn't bring that kind of spam on yourself?
Off to see your four things now ...
DeAnna Cameron says:
Rome!
You lucky grrrl :-)
June Casagrande says:
Yeah ...
... we'll see.
Ted's a little less jazzed about the idea than I am. (Not a fan of the long, long plane trips. But who is?)
Anyway, I think it's gonna happen!
Kristina Riggle says:
Hey, I was a City Hall reporter, too!
Didn't you just adore Planning Commission meetings and discussions of tax abatements and easements and the like?
I felt not at all like Lois Lane.
June Casagrande says:
If I never attend another Planning Commission meeting ...
... Seriously, though, I kind of enjoyed it. And I learned stuff that'll last a lifetime. The thing I hated was how editors expected you to get all excited at the first whiff of any scandal. I liked the wonky stuff, not the stir-the-pot stuff.
Kristina Riggle says:
I liked wonky stuff, too
I'm with you on that, too! Especially since the scandals were usually created by bitter politicos for the sole purpose of ruining their opponents and had precious little public value.
Still don't want to cover another planning commission meeting ever again.
