He didn't love L.A.
In the midst of a piece praising his deceased former boss, columnist Rob Zaleski of the Madison (Wisconsin) Capital Times slams Los Angeles:
In the fall of 1984, [he] rescued me after I'd made the biggest bonehead mistake of my career: I quit my job as sports editor of this paper and took a job with the Los Angeles Times.Oh, the new job itself was fine. I had my own office, with fresh flowers every day and a spectacular view of The Valley. But once my feet returned to Earth and I took a good look around, I realized I couldn't in good conscience raise three young girls in such a wild and amoral place.
Relax, Rob. The kids raised around here mostly turn out just fine. (Tip from Romenesko)
Wild and amoral? All the kids I know who grew up in Madison fled here to the porn industry trenches to get AWAY from the crazy shit going down back there with Bucky the Badger in the back room of the Maus Haus.

Like the kids in the midwest aren't all starting up meth labs to deal with the stultifying boredom.
