Comments: I want to express sheer disgust with the paper for publishing a photo of a 60 year old NON ITALIAN to report on the Columbus day parade. How disgraceful!! There were plenty of other REAL ITALIANS that you could have taken a picture of and instead you insult Italians by putting a photo of an old wannabe in the paper. HOW PATHETIC!!! I know for a fact that your photographer (THATS ME!!!!!!) took quite a bit of photos of an adorable little girl dressed in the traditional Italian costume and where is that photo??? In the garbage where the photo of the old wannabe should be!! How does that make sense? I am grateful that I do not read or purchase your paper because it is run by individuals who do not have a clue what is newsworthy and what appeals to the public! GET A CLUE TRIBUNE REVIEW!!!
