Sunday morning we strolled through Wabasha, MN. With a dramatic riverfront setting that made, and makes, it a port-of-call for paddle-wheelers, it’s one of those archetypal “middle America” towns that we just don’t have on the west coast. There’s a classic little hardware store, a city hall built in 1894, brick buildings everywhere, an impressive, new National Eagle Center, and more. After breakfast at the Eagles’ Nest, we all hit the road. That's me with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, the "Grumpy Old Men."
