I’m sure it haunts your dreams, but you’ve been starving for news about Morris because, well, they’re just now discovering this internet thingie. For years we’ve been getting by with the standard modes of communication: you know, A) stopping in the grocery aisle to gossip, or B) two cars stopping in the middle of the road, rolling down both drivers’ side windows, and chatting, or C) the church coffee social. But all that is changing! The City of Morris now has an official Facebook page and Twitter feed and are on Instagram! There’s not much there yet because they were just recently set up by some of the kids down to the university, dontcha know.
Anyway, you can now see footage of the construction of our new water treatment plant.
Awesome new drone footage of the progress of our water treatment plant: https://t.co/TtYk6jpJ59

We’re very excited. It’s been hard getting by with our coffee solidifying in the cup and having to hack mineral deposits out of our pots.
It’s not on the social media pages yet (get to work, kids!), but you can also read the local paper and learn that our local theater is getting a second screen! This is fantastic news. We peeked in the other night and it’s all shiny and modern-looking.
Keep on eye on those pages! You don’t want to miss any of the thrills.
Oh! And before I forget, the Stevens County Fair will be livening up the town in a couple of weeks! I don’t know, I moved here because it’s peaceful and quiet, and all this modern hub-bub is a bit discombobulating.

Great water treatment plant. Was that your drone?
I hope you can stand the stress of all this change.

In other words, the place is being invaded by Putintroll™.
Who will impurify all the precious bodily fluids.
The soma sprayers are being upgraded.

Where is the drone footage showing the new GOP (sewage) treatment plant?

No one else on the road? You don’t know rural Minnesota.

Deep Voiced 70s Announcer: “A thriving Midwest community. A home for family, business, and scholarship. A city that is steeped in wholesome American values, but is always looking to the future. Welcome to Morris, Minnesota: Prosperity City, USA!”
PZ Myers says
“But beneath its placid exterior lies a lurking darkness, a squamous horror awaiting an ominous alignment of the stars to emerge. We take you now to a seemingly innocent house at the corner of Third and College, where something slithers and gurgles in a viscid pool of nameless alien matter beneath the basement stairs.”
