same job? or different opening?

 

I want to write a complete retrospective on Rannolph Junuh if I take this job.

 

Well, those of us that applied for this job with two years experience certainly get the message.

 

Is Savannah a nice place to live?

 

Easily the most beautiful city its size in the country. It gets hot and uber-humid in the summer (where in the South doesn't?), but it's a gorgeous place to live. I'd live there in a heartbeat.

 

I second that. I had a lot of fun in Savannah, back when I was having fun.

 

I've lived in Georgia most of my life and Savannah is a close second to Athens as my favorite city in the state. Very beautiful, was never boring, and St. Patricks day is a freak fest that rivals few there.

 

Does SCAD have sports teams?

 

Savannah is easily my favorite city in the country and Stastny is a great guy. But this paper has serious problems that aren't going to go away any time soon. The newsroom is significantly smaller than just a few years ago and those positions aren't coming back. You know it's bad when two lifelong newspaper men – Jim Thomas and Tim Guidera – voluntarily hit the bricks. Thomas retired and Guidera threw up his hands and took a TV gig in town doing little or no sports.

 

What's the circ there?
