So I’ve been distracted by Facebook and LinkedIn and have let those dalliances distract me from my blogging.

But I met someone the other night who said my blog convinced him there were things to do in Grinnell and Poweshiek County.

And I felt immediately guilty — so I’m back at it.  And, I swear, I’ll write at least a couple of times a week…. even if there is nothing to say.

Today, there is good news.  The Chicago Tribune featured the Louis Sullivan-designed bank in Grinnell as one of their recommended destinations along I-80 in Iowa and Nebraska.

There’s also bad news, I’m sorry to say — all related to the economic downturn.

The Apple Basket in Montezuma will be closing its doors.  The BP gas station/Brooklyn I-80 restaurant closed its doors last week.  And the Montezuma Republican and Brooklyn Chronicle are merging into one paper.
