Not the Mean Streets

The mean streets they’re not.

As a general rule these streets are as safe at 7 in the am as they are at midnight. You don’t need to ask around town about which streets, or to be fair avenues, to avoid.

These streets are clean and clutter free and not because of a large contingent of sanitary workers who labor at picking up after the populous. Rather, it is the pride of a community that polices itself keeping things neat and tidy.

It’s not a new town by any stretch of the imagination. It’s Norwegian roots go deep and are as strong as the limestone bluffs that ring the town. The same pride that keeps the streets clean has also helped maintain the buildings on the “main drag”. Even the ubiquitous tattoo parlor seems to blend in, no small feat to be sure.

These streets are fun to walk around and explore. Little treasures seem to hover around every corner just waiting to be discovered by those willing to look. These streets are especially fun to watch from the corner booth in a local sports bar. Altjough maybe it was the company that made that lunch memorable………but the sun shinning in and cold Liney’s on tap didn’t hurt any either!

Nope, definitely not the mean streets…..
