Looking for a job?

Doesn't have the Amish though.

 

<----- My man Frank says there used to be a lot of turkey farmers out Palmdale way. Wonder if there still are?

 

I'm glad that you learned something, it just shows that you're not as old as you look or feel. It's a good paper.

 

Yes and I believe there are a couple of others.

 

I applied for a job here a while ago back in February for an open position. It turned out to be a part-time writing position where I would only get 25 hours a week or so. The pay was going to force me to live under a palm tree and it was not feasible for me to move across the country for that low pay. This job seems full-time so maybe the pay would be better and then the living conditions would not be as I expected. The editor seems friendly, so that is a plus.

 

From what I remember of Lancaster, Ohio, there isn't much of anything. But it's been 25 years...

 

I heard at the Lancaster Times in PA, Guttenberg will be your editor.

 

two quick things... we don't have part-timers on my staff,s o Mayfly was confused. And in the case of the jobs, my ASE also does my outdoors stuff, but that doesn't have to be the case. I have an ASE opening and a writer opening. the writing would be mostly preps, but would include the outdoors beat if that's your thing. Otherwise maybe the AE gets off the desk a couple times a week by doing the outdoors gig. But in neither case is anything part-time.

 

The two cities comprise the hub of the Antelope Valley (hence the name of the paper). Both have growing populations of about 150,000 people each and rabid home construction, although -- speaking from the experience of someone who was lucky to sell his house five months ago -- the housing market isn't what it was two years ago or even 18 months ago.

This -- along with the (relatively) cheap housing -- has done a number on the crime rate up here, as Section 8 people are moving up here in droves to take advantage of living in a four-bedroom, three-bath home on a cul-de-sac that they couldn't touch down below.

For what you'll make there, you won't have to live under a palm tree, but unfortunately it won't be enough to buy you the average house. Once upon a time, you could, but unless you're coming in with some money or a working spouse, not anymore.

Your office is in Palmdale, the better-run of the two communities. And Robert and Co. have done a decent job of late. Each day, they feature a page devoted to a different sport and their outdoors page has showcased some interesting stories.
