Once upon a time, I learned that a friend of mine became the mayor of a town outside of the Twin Cities.  

You may have heard of it, St. Croix Falls.  How could I not connect with my friend again to talk about all the amazing things this beautiful community offers?  

I had to.  And we talked and talked.  I tried to keep it concise for you, but you may want to check out the bloopers at the end due to the fact that the conversation took a turn.
