any idea of the pay on this one? It's a great part of Houston.

 

I imagine it is pretty expensive to live in Sugar Land. I think it is pretty upscale.

 

What kind of job is this -- newspaper, online, etc?

 

Yeah, but one can commute from any of a large number of places in the area.

 

from the guys I've talked to in this network of papers it's a once or twice weekly paper, but they produce stories daily online.

 

You get to cover the Skeeters.

Approves.

 

OKAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

 

it really was an unfortunate choice of names. Look it up on urbandictionary.com if you aren't familiar with the slang term skeet. Looks like it will be a nice stadium, etc. and that area is growing like crazy.

 

Oh, hell no.

 

A must for track and field fans.....Fort Bend Hightower annually has one of the nation's top prep boys teams.

 

And as for being an expensive place to live, Houston must have the cheapest home prices for a major city in the USA.
