Community Theater is Great
When ever we are in a town over the weekend we check to see if there might be a community theater performance. In Mitchell, South Dakota we were lucky. Back in our former life before quitting our jobs and traveling fulltime in an RV, we always had season tickets to the local professional theater. Other than the last two years due to Covid, we have spent several weeks a year in London seeing many of the wonderful plays available in the West End. Simply put, we really like live theater.
65 years ago this play premiered on television and the years haven’t diminished it on bit. It is amazing the talent that can be found in small towns. For us it was a Sunday afternoon very well spent. And the fact our seats were in the third row made it even better.

A small town in the middle of the US. A Tesla Supercharger station. Tesla looked at the big picture, not just building electric cars. Success has followed. Now the entire auto industry is following them.
