"For 45 years, he has chronicled the ups and downs of life on the North Coast, skewering the boors and bigots and paying homage to the gritty, honest people who make up the majority of those who call this place home." One man's grit and honesty is another man's bigot and bore.

The thing about Dick Feagler is that I think he used to be better. Over the last six months at work, I’ve had occasion to go through a large volume of Plain Dealer clippings from the 1970s and 80s. Sometimes I’d get sucked in and think, hey, this writer’s got some great points here, only to look up with somewhat of a shock to see that it was Dick Feagler. I think of Dick Feagler today as what Seinfeld might’ve been if they hadn’t pulled the plug when it was still funny — i.e., stale, pitiable, and vaguely embarrassing.

Christine, it had to have been the now-defunct Cleveland Press (which closed in June ‘82) that you saw his name in during that time period. He didn’t begin appearing in the PD until the mid-’90s. But your larger point is absolutely right: he was great back in the day.

Yes- I meant to say “newspaper” and not “Plain Dealer.” Oh, the horror of mistaking those two as synonymous.
