Goodbye for now, Cy-Fair Insiders

The start of each year is usually all about new beginnings but the Cy-Fair Insider this week will be about closing chapters. This is edition will be the last Cy-Fair Insider newsletter.

When I first started writing this newsletter, I was excited about the opportunity to tell local stories about the Cy-Fair community. I'm fortunate enough to say that I've done that.

Although I'm from St, Louis, Missouri, at times, it felt like Cy-Fair was home to me. I was able to cover everything from intense Cy-Fair ISD school board meetings to your favorite business openings.

Thank you for helping me learn more about Cy-Fair, and as always, thank you for reading the Cy-Fair Insider!

P.S. If you enjoyed the Cy-Fair Insider, please check out the Houston Chronicle's other newsletter offerings. You should check out our flagship newsletter The 713, which will keep you up to date on everything happening in Houston.
