To the many tributes paid Hal Fishman in the blogosphere, let me add only this: My last interview with the venerated KTLA anchor was earlier this year, and the subject was new development in Hollywood, as well as the issues that face the whole city. We spoke about many of the development and transportation issues that I've discussed on this blog, and he asked me tough questions that really dug into the issue. Just last week, at a small ceremony at the Gene Autry museum, Hal's 47 years of broadcasting were celebrated along with KTLA's 60th anniversary. Los Angeles misses him.
