Most towns, big and small, try to attract visitors. They come up with slogans to put on billboards. Yakima, Wash., for example, calls itself the "Palm Springs of Washington," which is not true, but it says so on a billboard coming into town. So when I neared Welcome, Minn., I got excited, because I was pretty sure there must be a "Welcome to Welcome" sign at the city limits. That would be an excellent sign because people would take pictures of it and send them to their friends, each time adding a bit of fame to the small town. But, alas. . . guess what? No "Welcome to Welcome" sign anywhere. A big disappointment to me, for sure.
