All Downhill From Here

Dear Editor,
    No more "News of the Weird." No more "Hightower Report." When Tom Tomorrow and the Luv Doc go, so will I. There will be little left to read but movie reviews and ads. Such a shame to see the Chronicle go downhill. I really cannot remember the last time I read a complete article. I just skim now, as every issue seems to be focused on some band/dance troupe, theatre group, etc. Nice reading for some folks I'm sure, but it's all too much of the same, week after week.

   [Editor-in-Chief Kim Jones responds: It’s true, we no longer run "News of the Weird" or "Hightower Report," two nationally syndicated columns, in order to devote that space to local news and our own reporting. It’s also true that every week, we focus on some band, dance troupe, theatre group – sometimes all in one issue! – but that’s pretty much what we’ve been doing for the past 36 years.
p.s. Not unlike the clap, the Luv Doc is with us for life.]
