FOTD – May 18 – Spring in Northfield, Minnesota
I wish I’d had time to get some pictures of St. Olaf’s campus, but at least we got some pictures of town and the river.
A look up and down Main Street and the river that run through town. Kind of reminds me of home!

It does look very pleasant.

It is. It’s a little more built up than I like it, but it has everything you need in walking distance which I envy. It’s very hard to get around here. And they have culture. Music — LOTS of music. Even a museum. Very nice. Of course, they make OUR winter look easy.

Ah, St. Olaf’s twin 😀 They were having a lot of activity too over the weekend. Proms (several), a couple of weddings, some admin meetings (money people I’m guessing) — and St. Olaf’s was having three concerts and more. Every room in town was taken and there were kids wearing tuxedos and prom dresses just about everywhere. Lovely college town. River’s are overflowing, too and you probably know they’ve had a series of tornados very recently. Anton was a ’79 grad from St. Olaf.

It was a beautiful town, very collegiate. It was prom week, too. Girls in fancy dresses and young men in their first tuxedos.

It is pretty. Very collegiate. Lots of young people with backpacks. College towns are always interesting and usually pretty.

You are right, Marilyn. I have visited a few in the UK and they are all very pretty.

I think college towns spend their money on keeping the town attractive because their business is education. Kids — and their parents who often are paying the tuition — really CARE about how the town looks and feels. Boston is full of colleges, though it’s not a college town because it’s one of the U.S.’s oldest cities, but Amherst, out in the far west of the state has 9 college in that little town and it’s very collegiate. Lovely and lots of interesting things to do.
