Great area and great people up there. If you're hesitant because you don't know the area, don't be. Nicholas was the sports editor for quite a few years and will be able to catch you up with the area and its teams quickly. I worked under his supervision as a sports reporter in 2014 and he has a great handle on what it takes to lead an editorial team to create great daily copy.
