I produced a piece for a company named Collins Enterprises that specializes in creating mixed-use development communities in Norfolk and its surrounding areas. You get that gig I might be able to hook you up with some affordable housing but I make no promises because I don't really wanna go through all that trouble to do that for you and I probably couldn't anyway. Useless comment.
Hear hear on the Tribune. I've stopped reading the Chicago Trib. because the copy-editing is so bad ( think they've fired the lot). Spelling mistakes, bad layout, misprints -- the Tribune, for God's sake. It is slowly becoming just another AP repository.
Well, keep up us updated on your decision. I'm curious if you grilled your potential employer on how they intend to keep revenue up in these troubling times.
