Southern Minnesota Town Rallies To Locate Injured Great Dane

Smaller rural Minnesota towns are great. You get to know your neighbors pretty well, and when you need a hand with something more often than not there are more hands available than the work that needed to be done. That was pretty much the case recently in Albert Lea after a Great Dane named Harvey was hit by a vehicle and then ran from the crash injured.

It all began on December 5th when a post for help finding Harvey was shared on the Humane Society of Freeborn County's Facebook page.

Suddenly the search for Harvey was on in Albert Lea. Comments were appearing from people throughout the area hoping for the safe return of Harvey, and others offering assistance in the search.

The next day, after Harvey still wasn't located, a new post went up surrounding Harvey on the Humane Society's page, this time the news didn't sound really great. Harvey's pawprints were found, and they were blood spots to accompany the pawprints left behind.

The post was later updated with some positive news that the Great Dane was found!

After Harvey was found he was taken to a local vet to be examined for any further injuries resulting from being hit by a vehicle.

The good news was that Harvey only sustained damage to his paw pads, and after some time with booties on, he would make a full recovery.

What I thought was really cool was that Harvey's family took the time to thank all those who helped, especially so to two individuals for going above and beyond in the search for Harvey.

That's what living in a small town is all about.

Built in 1911, This Top-Priced Superior Listing Features History + Quirky Decor

In the winter of 2021, the top-priced listing in Superior, Wisconsin wasn't a new construction in a new neighborhood. Instead, it's a historical home sitting on a large corner lot on Hammond Avenue.

Built in 1911, the large home has 3,831 square feet of living space, including 6 bedrooms and 4 baths. To say this exterior of this home has historic charm would be an understatement. Sure, it has a fenced in back yard and a detached garage that also features a full basement (!), but it's the exterior of the home is what catches your eye.

Once you walk inside, you'll find cool features like birds eye maple cabinets and doors, along with maple floors and plaster walls. Who doesn't love beautifully maintained original woodwork like what you'll find here?

Take a look through 1704 Hammond Avenue, which was on the market for $625,000 in December, 2021. One thing you'll likely notice is the very quirky decor the current owner has filled the home with. So many blue glass decorations!
