sadly, jen, minnesota is much the same way. my love affair with duluth was clouded this summer as it seemed the line was crossed between enhancing the beauty of the area and making it usable - and making it and the areas to the north of it SO attractive that it has become too expensive for the long-timers to remain. and - a tiny home on the quiet lake you speak of is currently on the market for well over 200,000…….not sure they’ll get it, but it’s sad that they think it’s possible.
hmmmm………..guess we’ll just have to tune into NPR on Sat. evenings………

I love how you remind me that someone around here remembers how it is where I come from…MN. You take me back time and again when you write about it. Thanks Jen!

I think it’s happening here too, in plain old Missouri. My parents have a place in the Ozarks. Every time I go to visit, there are fewer of the simple little places, and more of the big fancy ones. My Dad is just as guilty, he keeps building on and fancying up. It’s still a nice place to get away for the weekend though.

Nope. It’s about the onion dip. And pimping out the inlaw’s new macbook pro.

The future has never been more different than how I imagined it might be.
