In the early 1980s, while visiting cousins in Minnesota, my family spent a day at the Paul Bunyan Amusement Center, then located in Baxter. The park featured a variety of rides and a giant animated statue of Paul Bunyan who greeted each child by name. (I have to say it was a bit of an unnerving experience for a 10-year-old.)

In the fall of 2008, Tom Pinchbeck announced he would be closing his family’s rose farm in Guilford, Connecticut, which had been operating for nearly 80 years. It had been a slow decline for the business due to competition from imported roses from Central and South America, and Equatorial Africa, where they don’t have to spend money on heating greenhouses and where labor is cheap.
