Bad slappy!


And it's name isn't Plain-Dealer

 

Hey Angola! strong response but why don't you take your own advice and talk about the DAMN job ... nobody has except cityemployee ... are you DyePack's bodyguard or something?? I thought this site was about finding information about jobs ... aol has a bunch of chatrooms for the other crap being spouted ...

 

Congrats. Welcome to the club. It happens, and as much as I hate to admit it, normally it's for a good reason.

 

Requirements you need to get it: Ask the folks at TWGDPIA.

History: It's seen better days.

What kind of people work there: Some good, some bad. Some call the place TWGDPIA.

The city: Ugh.

 

Well wait a minute. I need to defend Detroit here a bit.
Downtown can be fun, especially Greektown. And Canada is across the border, and Southeast Michigan is outstanding and 'Up North' is awesome year-round. It's a wonderful place to work and live.

That said, I'm enjoying Florida. But I had 40 years in Michigan. Wouldn't have changed a thing.

 

Blue, you might need to work on your "defend Detroit" spiel a little. You've got one (IMO very valid) Detroit fact, then spread out into the surrounding area for support. Move to Detroit so you can visit Up North? Not a really strong argument.

How about the Tigers, Foxtown, Detroit's casinos, the riverfront and all that jazz?

BTW, is there any movement on this position? I know a couple who've applied.

 

When I think Detroit, I think Southeastern Michigan and the entire state. That was my point.
The dead man's zone area between downtown and 8 mile, as well as Downriver ... can't say anything good about that.

 

The one thing I can say about the News is the sports desk is full of great people. I know just about every one of them and I'm glad I do.

 

You're right. I only know a couple of the desk people, but they all are pretty good to know.
