The scene at last Thursday’s City Centre at Quail Valley for the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce hosted network nites was idyllic for the get together.

When your chickens come home to roost…….We had a funny thing happen at the newspaper a couple of weeks ago. Well, it was sort of serious and funny at the same time. The boys at the newspaper on the other side of the river, the Herald Coaster, or whatever they are calling it nowadays, have [...]
