I’ve got to give a shoutout to the Squarespace ad. (So that’s the tech tie-in.)  
Winona, MN is about 35 miles from my house.  
My wife grew up in Winona.  
I graduated from Winona State University.

Behind the scenes of the ad

The pamphlet Winona mentions that her mom picked up in laundromat is about this:

> **[Winona (legend)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winona_(legend))**
>
> Winona or Wenonah is a Dakota Sioux character in a "Lover's Leap" romantic legend set at Maiden Rock, which is on the Wisconsin side of Lake Pepin in the United States. Winona is said to have leaped to her death from this high precipice rather than marry a suitor she did not love. This theme is found in a number of apocryphal, post-contact tales in the place-name lore of North America.
> There are several variations of the story. Winona's father is sometimes said to be Chief Wabasha (Wapasha) of ...

The ad

P.S. Anyone know what kind of camera Winona is using?

P.S. The Grumpy Old Men movies were set and filmed up river (Mississippi) just a bit from Winona in Wabasha.

Just up the river and on the Wisconsin side from Wabasha is Pepin, WI. Not far from there is the site of Laura Ingles’ book _Little House in the Book Woods_.
