Fun town. Picacho Street past 10 p.m.

 

Yeah, but there's that pre-employment drug testing. I guess that means they're looking for a candidate from outside the region.

 

So there are no journalists in the region who don't use drugs?

 

You have to piss or swab for most any job on these boards. GET CLEAN. GO TO REHAB!

 

Um, just making a joke about one of the sleaziest, most drug-ridden towns in the country. Never mind.

 

I've never been tested. Maybe they just test you Boots.

 

Leave boots' chlamydia out of this.

 

The new sports editor has held one previous full-time journalism job: nine months at the SE at the Roswell Daily Record.

 

Roswell, My Roswell

 

You're serious?!

 

Can't get the link to work (maybe you can), but that's correct. Sadly.
