- Northern Exposure!
This is a great article! Your graphics really make this come alive in my imagination. I couldn't possibly say more than has already been said above!
Thank you! As always, I've enjoyed your topic very much.
Take care,
Jenn

» jerrib - It's a pleasure to have you visit
again, Jenn. Not too many folks from Arts come by to say hello.I didn't watch Northern Exposure when it was on. I have a bit now since I researched this article. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Roslyn really is a charming little town. We were on our way to somewhere else, so I really didn't get to spend the time there I would have liked. But snapping the photos was fun. Glad they clicked with you.
Suite 101 has sure opened my eyes to the world. I enjoy reading your articles, too, Jenn. I'm learning a lot. Your style of writing is engaging.

» Renie_Burghardt - Hi Jerri!
You have given us another interesting tour. I, too, was a fan of Northern Exposure, but as you say, there is much more to Rosalyn than being "Cicely, Alaska" on television. I certainly learned much about Rosalyn's history and enjoyed it very much. But tell me Jerri, what ever happened to that moose that used to stroll through the town?

It's still on the syndicates, so you can still watch it. Glad you liked the article. It's great writing about WA as a lifetime resident who loves where she lives! There's so much to write about.Appreciate your visit! Hope you will stop by again.

» Tina_Coruth - Very interesting!
Very interesting! I thought Northern Exposure was filmed in Alaska. Roslyn has so much to offer, I can see why they opted to film there.I was very interested in the coal mining/railroad aspect of your article. Mining has taken it's toll on the east, too. The conflict with the railroad in Pennsylvania got pretty bad. I think the impact the railroads had on the country is fascinating. The railroads were vital to the industrial development of the country, yet the railroad bosses were too powerful. Even little old New Hampshire had problems because of the railroad owners!
You always get me to thinking! I enjoyed the visit to Roslyn -- great article!

» RosemaryBasil - THANK YOU Jerr!
This is the article I was waiting for! I am a diehard fan of Northern Exposure, watch the reruns most everyday!! The dialogues and characters are just so precious and it is heartwarming and hysterical as well, what writers! I must check out that website now!!Your article and pix are so delightful! You really capture the flavor of such a beautiful historical town and your state as well.
I look forward to reading and visiting each time!

Christina, thanks for your comments. It's really amazing how the railroads really shaped our history out here in the west. Whole towns moved to accommodate railroads (as I mentioned in my Yakima Milk Bottle article); mining flourished.I'll be over soon to read what's new in New Hampshire. My computer crashed and I have a basic connection - hope to reinstall new software and get back to normal this afternoon. Then I'll be surfing away.
Good to hear from you.

Glad you like the article. Hope you had fun searching the links. Did you notice the gift shop goodies are available on the internet?Guess a lot of folks like Northern Exposure, as they still play on! I have to admit I didn't watch them, but knew of their popularity. I watched a new shows before writing this.
I'll be over soon to see what's new at your place.
