We have already mentioned the thrill of having a big daily paper do a travel profile on your city.

Pat Borzi: What the hell?
Editor: Yeah, your going to Duluth

I’m not sure if “Patrick” and “Pat” are the supposed to be the same person above (if so, hey Borzi, how goes it?), but I used to work with the author, and he lives in Minnesota. (He is originally from Long Island though.)
