    The hilarious, charming, and candid story of writer Christopher Ingraham's decision to uproot his life and move his family to Red Lake County, Minnesota, population 1,400?the community he made famous as ?the worst place to live in America? in a story he wrote for the Washington Post.Like so many young American couples, Chris Ingraham and his wife, Briana, were having a difficult time making ends meet as they tried to raise their twin boys in the East Coast suburbs. One day, Chris?in his role as a ?data guy? reporter at the Washington Post?stumbled on a study that would change his life. It was a ranking of America's 3,000+ counties from ugliest to most scenic. He quickly scrolled to the bottom of the list and gleefully wrote the words ?The absolute worst place to live in America is (drumroll please) . . . Red Lake County, Minnesota.? The story went viral, to put it mildly. Among the reactions were many from residents of Red Lake County. While they were unflappably polite?it's not called ?Minnesota Nice? for nothing?they challenged him to look beyond the spreadsheet and actually visit their community. Ingraham, with slight trepidation, accepted. Impressed by the locals' warmth, humor, and hospitality?and ever more aware of their own financial situation and torturous commute?Chris and Briana eventually decided to relocate to the town he'd just dragged through the dirt on the Internet.If You Lived Here You'd Be Home by Now is the story of making a decision that turns all your preconceptions?good and bad?on their heads. In Red Lake County, Ingraham experiences the intensity and power of small-town gossip, struggles to find a decent cup of coffee, suffers through winters with temperatures dropping to forty below zero, and unearths some truths about small-town life that the coastal media usually miss. It's a wry and charming tale?with data!?of what happens to one family brave enough to move waaaay beyond its comfort zone.

    Chicago has thrived for almost two hundred years, growing from a backwoods swamp, to a rail and manufacturing hub, to a light of the new Millennium. While many great structures have been lost or demolished, much of this history still lives on. Within the pages of Oldest Chicago, get to know the history of the Windy City's most iconic buildings and the stories that bring their walls to life. Included are some of the businesses and buildings from the city's inception through the turn of the twentieth century that are examples of Chicago's living history like The First United Methodist Church (1831); The Old Water Tower (1859); and Wrigley Field (1916). Amazingly, many others are still run by the same family members whose dedication has made them not only enduring businesses but living landmarks. These include The Jaeger Funeral Home (1858); Anderson's Books (1875); and The Italian Village Restaurant (1927) among many others. Local historian David Anthony Witter brings his love of the city to this veritable guidebook of the city's buildings, neighborhoods, restaurants, businesses and bars. Learn the personal stories of the faces behind the places that continue to give the "City of Big Shoulders" its historical, ethnic, and entrepreneurial identity.less
