Primer for New Readers

I had a new reader remark to me recently that she felt overwhelmed by the blog and wanted to know which posts would get her up to speed as quickly as possible. I realize this blog is not known for its brevity and sometimes it is highly technical - sorry about that. If you want the "essential" postings from TPB.com, here they are: 

• The Small Town Ponzi Scheme 

• The Cost of Development, One Example 

• The Cost of Development, Highway Edition 

• The Poison Gift 

• A Government Bubble? 

• Why do Small Towns Exist? 

• Why do Big Cities Exist? 

• How a Small Town can Survive (and even thrive) 

And for those of you who listened to KAXE this morning and are stopping by - welcome, and here is the blog post we talked about on the air: 

• Sticker Shock in Brainerd. Really? 

See you tomorrow with the weekly news digest.
