My mom just sent me this nice article about Decorah, my hometown, from the magazine Minnesota Monthly:
"Decorah is Lake Wobegon.”
—Decorah native Shirley Jenkins-Vermace
THE SCENE
Except that, well, Decorah is in Iowa. And no one would confuse the delicate Upper Iowa River that winds through town for a lake. Nor has time appeared to have forgotten Decorah’s picturesque downtown, with its bustling natural foods co-op, artsy coffee and tea shops, elegantly restored historic hotel, and fine restaurants featuring risotto and goat cheese.
