Yesterday, for the first time ever, I exercised my 19th Amendment rights to vote.
It wasn’t that important of an election–just the Texas Gubernatorial Primary–but I voted nonetheless. For something so important, it was miraculously boring, and yet, I was excited, and also, I had to, because otherwise my mother said I couldn’t [...]

 Ellen Cameron
Staff Writer
Coppell’s a small place. Depending on traffic and route, you could drive through it in a matter of minutes. And yet, our tiny town houses a suprising number of business headquarters, and not just for mom-and-pop businesses, but large recognized corporations.
