LAKE CITY, Minn. — More than 30 people gathered in Lake City, Minnesota, on Tuesday, Aug. 18, to discuss what it means to be neighbors in their corner of southeastern Minnesota. What emerged was a strong allegiance to working together in community groups, a love of a small-town lifestyle, and a belief that it's important to check on your neighbors and help when you can — despite political differences, which often go unspoken.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes. Not professionally.
