I was taught that, “the only constant is change” but, “the more things change the more they stay the same.”

I remember my one and only visit to Chicago several decades ago and walking down the, “miracle mile” thinking it was just like any other bunch of chains stores and restaurants all over America. New Orleans was, “a place that felt like a place” but so much of our diverse culture of individualism has become like Lucy pulling the football away from Charley Brown; predictable, funny, and sad.
“No matter where you go, there you are.”
I enjoyed your musings and, if you ping, please add me?

I mourn the loss of the uniquely Scandahoovian feel of Minnesota.

Thanks for the compliment! (I will add you.)

Cheers!
