You can see the pride in that clean little town. Love the fact that they'll never allow people to tear down the history of the town. Great story

No one would tear down a Union statue because it doesn't represent racism. But Kim who you say is a wonderful gal made a mildly racist ad which would have caused the town founder to cry.

Changed a lot since I was a kid when we had two dime stores, five hardware stores and no Dutch fronts. However, you could hear Dutch conversations on the sidewalk uptown. A lot of the houses on my paper route have disappeared.
