QuikQuote: The granite stars will honor political leaders, entrepreneurs and show- business types who have ties to Orange County.
Fittingly, Disney's star was placed near the main entrance to the Magic Kingdom. Eventually the stars will dot the sidewalks of the Resort District, extending down Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue.
Next up: fast-food king Carl Karcher, of Carl's Jr. burger chain. Karcher will get his star next month.

Tacky Tacky Tacky! Are they going to have panhandlers dressed up like superheros? or worse, Disney characters? Is it going to be like the stars in Palm Springs where you don't know half the names because they are "civic" leaders? Will they have a star for the manager of Dennys? This is just a bad idea all around. It cheapens the original Hollywood walk of fame (which has been cheapened enough already) and it cheapens Anaheim.
