Halvorson: The Play Park

Oct 18, 2018
Some of my favorite memories are time spent at the play park. We lived just a few blocks away and spent many fun filled days on the swings and rings. Looking back I always pictured the play park as being larger than it is today. The other day I came across some pictures of my grandparents taken...

Sep 26, 2018

Halvorson: Arguments against beach improvements don’t hold up

Since I’ve been writing letters to the editor I’ve been stopped constantly by complete strangers, some not so strange. The question is: “Why don’t...
