Tyreke Evans cut from Team USA -
Saw this coming, though, with the sore ankle. Too bad—and would have been interesting to see whether Evans made the team had he not been hurt.
Breton admits to driving stoned in his latest appeal for readers to reject Prop 19.
He also calls pot “hippie lettuce.” Haven’t heard that one before.
Morton’s Blue Cheese Steak Fries or a dog’s regurg on frozen tater sticks?
Did the Sacramento Bee run a please-forgive-me Morton’s Steakhouse puff piece in today’s Ticket section? It sure reads like it.
A little back-story: In January 2009, Bee food critic Blair Anthony Robertson drubbed Morton’s (in an article that is now part of the Bee’s archive, which can be read for $2.95 and is probably worth the three bucks). Anyway, the story solicited fevered response online as to whether Robertson went too far in his critique.
Since the review, Robertson has earned a reputation as a scribe with a penchant for scathing take-downs, particularly steakhouses, a la trashing Iron Steaks.
Anyway, in today’s Ticket section, contributor—and junior-college paper Sacramento City Express staffer—Casey Mar reviews Morton’s “Power Hour.” The headline proclaims: “Morton’s a good value for happy hour.”
Oh really?
Today’s Bob Shallit column in the Bee reports the the Crest Theatre is up for sale. This comes on the the heels of news that Broadway’s Tower Theater also is on the market.
Sid Garcia-Heberger, who does a great job programming the Crest, says in the story that she isn’t going anywhere. I like her confidence: Either she knows the potential buyer, has assurance from the current owner or is just downright certain that she’ll be doing what she does so well for a long while. Good thing any way it pans out.
The crazy news from Shallit’s column is that Reading, who owns the Tower, is shelling out a paltry $1,700 for its monthly lease? Whoa!
