Opinion: Villanueva’s anti-Luna double-deck bus tour is nothing more than a publicity crawl

Tim Grobaty

Obviously, Villanueva sees Luna’s failure as a ripe source of attack in the race, while Luna has a sweeping slate of Villanueva’s weaknesses to exploit, and it’s a list that’s growing by the day.

Here’s what happens when karma loses its cool in a heat wave

Tim Grobaty

Opinion: The city shouldn’t pay Alden Global Capital, which destroys local news

Tim Grobaty

The simple matter is paying Alden Global Capital, which owns the Press-Telegram, for the scant information their papers provide about Long Beach, the money will only allow the papers to stay alive for the dwindling days before Alden sucks their last dollar.

Opinion: George W. Bush is no Donald Trump—but he’s still George W. Bush

Tim Grobaty

Column: Queen Mary’s earliest days in Long Beach predicted its current quandary

Tim Grobaty

Among the more than 1,000 passengers stepping ashore in Long Beach was Mayor Wade, whose written comments were handed out to the 800 crew members. He assured them that the Queen would be well cared for under the city’s stewardship. “It is expected that the vessel will have a continued life of at least 300 years,” he said.
