Emotional Grit With Mary Palcich Keyes | Seeking the Comforts of Home: Cities That Had to Move

Have you ever wondered why kids at camp get homesick, business travelers look forward to sleeping in their own bed and the elderly want to spend their later years at home? It’s a yearning for the familiar - A setting that’s predictable and known, while offering comfort with a sense of control. Feelings of control can be delayed though if you ever need to move. Especially if the move needs to be made by ….your town.

Join Jennifer and Historian Mary Palcich Keyes as they speak about how the town of Hibbing, Minnesota had to move and interesting stories that continue to happen there to this day. Including the tour Mary and her husband gave of Hibbing high school, alma mater of Grammy Award winning singer Bob Dylan, to Academy Award nominee Timothee Chalamet, for playing him in the Oscar nominated film A Complete Unknown.

Jennifer and Mary also speak of how Jennifer visited Centralia, PA, the nearly abandoned ghost town, where a massive underground coal-seam fire began there in the 1960s and continues to burn to this day. (The town went on to inspire the movie Silent Hill.)

Great reminders of why people seek the comforts of home.
