About Wendy Weitzel
About Comings & Goings
Wendy Weitzel is a Davis, California, writer who started the award-winning Comings & Goings business column in 2001, when she was managing editor of The Davis Enterprise.
“It began out of frustration, when reporters wouldn’t always cover what I thought was newsworthy,” she said. “Now – out of frustration again (the paper’s botched layoff of Bob Dunning), look where it’s landed me. ”
After she said goodbye to the newspaper she loved, Wendy’s loyal readers followed her. The column quickly became a bestseller, garnering thousands of subscribers and ranking among top business publications. As she wrote in her intro piece, she’s the daughter and granddaughter of former small-business owners, and hopes the news she gathers will encourage people to know and support their community.
