Dang. People actually live up there.
Yes a hell of a lot of Somali “refugees” that suck the welfare out of the taxpayers of the State and Federal Gov’t.
Years ago when a young my mother had just remarried to a man from Austin Minn. which is just a few miles East of Albert Lea. My stepfather knew quite a few in the area. One special family friend and family lived on a good sized farm in the area. I remember one evening we stayed overnight at the farm. I took special notice that the bed with very soft goose down was very soft. However what really caught my eyes/attention were the wall hangings for the KKK. I learned not to speak of such from my parents. In those years I think that area of Minn. was not very welcome for non US people. Strange how time and money/employment can change the societal environment.
