Music City Minnesota (Downtown Northfield, MN) Again this Weekend

It’s a weekend like this one, with lots of great music everywhere, which remind me of Bob Jacobsen and the shirt I bought at his family’s store so many years ago: “Northfield Music City Minnesota”.  There’s music down in the valley and music up on both hills.  Our historic downtown, the Wild and Scenic River, great public schools, 100 Mbps to your desktop…and loads of live music…make Northfield, MN the place to be.
