Randy Gonzo---Gragg Leaves the Oregonian, Leaves PDX without Critic
From Willamette Week
Hank Stern
Oregonian architecture and urban-design critic Randy Gragg is leaving the paper.
Gragg, 48, says his last day will be May 11 and that he's departing on good terms after his 17-year career at the paper, which included a Loeb fellowship at Harvard's Graduate School of Design.
"I have absolutely no complaints,'' Gragg says."They've allowed me to explore my interests as a writer and as a critic."
As to what's next, Gragg says he wants to "explore new avenues" but isn't saying yet what those new avenues are. Gragg does say that he will stay in the area.
But WWire's real question is this: What will this man do without one of his all-time foils?
