Grand Rapids was the first place I made the evening news beating a homicide rap on a Coastie. It will always have a soft spot in my heart. I'm glad you beat the homicide rap. That could have looked bad on the part of the form asking if you have any recent prior felonies.

I forgot to mention earlier that Gaidin moonlights on the Fresno tourism board Its like Mt.P and Tupelo some places get weird bad raps they don't deserve and it keeps people from saying yes to good opportunities.

Well you know the troublemaker who does not like Fresno does not like MtP and not based on rumor I am a Michigander originally. Not for me and too cold! All I remember of MtP is the prison valley of central Michigan university (visited friends there whose dorms reminded me of cinder blocks). At the same time for you all considering Micjigan the people are wonderful. I think many could make a great life for themselves there. In all seriousness if you have flexibility (I don't as I want to stay wherever I go for at least the next 6 years). Accept every place on your cert (unless you know you would say No to an offer). Rank them to the best of your ability and seize this opportunity. For newbies about to proceed to DC Invites remember a Wide Gal is your best friend.

For newbies about to proceed to DC Invites remember a Wide Gal is your best friend. too cold for me too! im keeping it on though cause i want all options on the table. but i have older kids than you which allows for much more flexibility. honestly, my true #1 spot is DC!!! not on cert but i would gladly take the humidity to live and work in Foggy Bottom! im still deciding whether LA, DC, or San Antonio is my favorite US city And you ARE quite the troublemaker for not making Fresno #1 I bet you don't want Tupelo either although the Funkster can apparently whip up a mean dish of crawdads and obviously keeps lots of beer on hand!

I've read about Fayetteville. Trust me, I get the gist. What I am wondering is if any board member with younger kids (middle schoolers) has actually done a stint there or may actually be there now. I am looking (perhaps prematurely or for naught) for info on the 'burb with the best schools or, alternatively, what private school in the area might be the best option. Anyone out there?

Mt. Pleasant doesn't look too bad. It is a university town and is fairly near Lansing.
