Could not let the 2007 post pass.

Where was this guy living? Must have one stop light. Lander drivers are not at all as portrayed. The speed limit on Main Street is 30 MPH. The average of most places I have been. I cross the streets every day and have never had to run if I started to walk when the light turned. The Ox Bow has an excellent breakfast menu and the food is good. It is a typical small town family restaurant. Not acceptable I guess if you want to eat at a chain but Lander is the kind of place that doesn't have and doesn't want those. Houses of 200K are not shacks but of course you may find one or two that is. That happens everywhere. The price of housing is a little higher than Riverton, 24 miles down the road.That is because more people want to live in Lander, due to the many amenities that are found nowhere else in this part of the state. We have always had a very good and comfortable coffee house. We don't have a Starbucks but we don't want one of those either. Our coffee houses are the real kind. Ones where you are welcome to kick back and spend the whole day in visiting, studing, or reading. We have a very active art center, the National Outdoor Leadership School's international base home, the Catholic College, the community college many quaint shops and restaurants. I think we are lucky when we have somehow scared away someone like the poster. They would just move here and try to start changing things so they were just like what they left but weren't satisfied with. Oh, and I am retired. I moved from a large city and I love Lander.
