Subject: Boulevard of Champions

Did anyone pick up today's "Boulevard of Champions" Souvenir Edition of the P-G? Online, they mention a special 8-page section about the Pens parade available in print, though the print edition (below the fold) references a 7-page section. (page 8 is a Verizon ad).

The A-1 photo is beautiful, and leads one to believe some of the same quality content might appear in the special section. The E-1 (special section) photo is also great.

Once you open the section, you get black and white player pictures, a color picture of a burrito, a color ad, a story about public transit traffic nightmares (a downer in a 'celebratory' section) more black and white player pictures, and a full page of full-color fan pictures. Couldn't the P-G splurge on color for the team photos? The fans were there to cheer on the Pens. Don't they deserve some color pictures of the event they attended? The text was nothing special. It would have been nice to have a recap of a story or two from a sports writer

The photo content is skimpy. I expected better. Is the P-G short on photographers? The could have paid a few of the fans for their own pictures. There were some nice professional cameras in the crowd.
