Lots of very interesting history in this area...and scary stuff as well. I'm just catching up and now there will probably be another post tomorrow. So glad to have happened on your substack.

Thanks so much Katie! I’m glad you found the newsletter too. I probably need to slow things down a bit!

Love your side comments on the White pride artist’s work. That last one on going to Starbucks instead got me laughing out loud!!

Thanks for this great romp through the area's history, Rob. Your ending paintball story also had me laughing.

I played paintball in the woods here in Canada. Just once. It was enough. Haha!
