Welcome to Comings & Goings, a local business news column by Wendy Weitzel
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 in her Substack Launch Party speech on June 22, 2024. “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 to Substack, where it became an instant Bestseller, garnering thousands of subscribers, and a ranking on the Substack Leaderboard of 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.
