OFFICIAL ROAST REPORT
We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Your town's biggest flex is having Minnesota's only remaining covered bridge, which is basically like being the tallest kid in third grade. You've built your entire identity around a wooden structure that needed its roof rebuilt in 2019 because even your main attraction couldn't handle the commitment.
You've got more boutiques per capita than residents with actual disposable income, selling 'curated collections' to the same rotating cast of church ladies. Wild Ginger, Phenomenal Woman, Chubby Chique — your downtown reads like a vision board made by someone who watched too much HGTV during the pandemic.
The locals rave about Bridget's burgers being 'the best in town' — which is like being the smartest person at a family reunion where everyone dropped out of high school. When your pie is so filling you need to take it to go, that's not portion control, that's a cry for help disguised as comfort food.
Your idea of must-see attractions includes wandering around a hemp field until October 31st, because nothing says 'thriving cultural scene' like getting lost in industrial agriculture. Even your tourist board had to pad the list with a men's clothing store that opened in 2024 as a 'premier' destination.
