Anthony DiVito

Anthony DiVito is a second-generation Port Richmond resident who remembers when smokestacks, not construction cranes, defined the neighborhood’s skyline. After spending twenty years as a dispatcher for a local hauling company, Anthony brought his deep knowledge of the river wards to the Star News, where he serves as the unofficial voice of the "long-timers." He specializes in reporting on public safety, parish news, and the preservation of the neighborhood's industrial history, ensuring that the stories of the people who stayed through the lean years aren't overshadowed by the latest boutique opening. Known for his blunt, common-sense prose, Anthony is a fixture at the local American Legion post. Anthony is a devoted fan of Big 5 basketball and spends his weekends tinkering with his vintage Cadillac.
