Last week's story on Koreatown nightlife in the LA Weekly elicited an unusual response -- a rebuking letter to the editor from Dennis Romero, a senior writer for the rival Citybeat. Romero has written extensively about K-town for CityBeat and the L.A. Times and had more than a few quibbles with the Weekly story. The Weekly's current letters page leads with Romero's critique and a response from the author of the story, Deborah Vankin.
