Selma is not in east-central alabama. Central from north to south, yes. It's in the western half of the state, though.

Selma is in the middle of nowhere.

Far more accurate

I'll vouch for the editor as good people who will work your a** off. I can't vouch for anything else on this one.

Dennis Palmer gave my job away when I came back from a deployment with the Guard. 'Nuff said.

 

[slappy4428]

Hope you collected a nice settlement when you took him to court...

 

[User 1019]

Nah. They covered themselves by offering me a comparable job about 100 miles away. It was time to move on, anyway. I wound up in Tupelo ... a much, much better situation.

 

[SixToe]

Tupelo is in a much better portion of Middle of Nowhere. Prettier, too.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

Prettier than the Edmond Pettus Bridge? Surely you jest.

Tupelo's a great city. I'd love to land there.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal has a very good section.

I was in the Tupelo area at the time at a smaller Boone paper; not in Selma, although I did some work at Selma when I was getting started at another Boone paper in central Alabama.

 

[User 1019]

And, yes, Tupelo has an outstanding section. I was proud to be a part of it. The sports editor there is crazy as a ****ing bat, but he knows his newspaper ****.

Fixed...

A one-man show AND responsible for laying out some news pages? Good grief.

All this and much more grief for $25,000 and some hot water for your ramen.
