Piercing Ken Thoughts: I’ll keep my editorial soapboxing to a minimum on this since its our first time doing this sort of news here on “The Chronicles”. I did like seeing some of the actors we find in the Marvel Studios releases being given stars on the famed walk since those are the films that we tend to enjoy the most. I’ve not been to Hollywood in more than 20 years at the time of this writing and feel I need to get back and so some kind of feature about the sights and scenes to be found. This is the kind of fun news that helps one forget about just how bad it is out there right now thanks to the pandemic which is now in its third full month. I don’t know about your neck of the woods but I am already tired of the President, Governor and Mayor being a part of my daily television saying not much at all but let me not get political here since I am here to entertain and distract. What do you readers think about this news and the honored? Who would you like to see given a star on the famous walkway? Chime in down below as I’d love to hear from you. I am starting to get stir crazy from the lack of activity but let’s hope we are in a better place come September. See you again soon and please be careful out there.
