Brainerd? Isn't that near Lake Woebegone?


Brainerd is a little north of Lake Wobegon...

....which is just east of Staggerford.

Both books are fun. Staggerford series is very good.

Was actually set in Brainerd. They filmed a big police raid scene just
down the block from my house. Brainerd PD was even part of it.
Unfortunatly, we had a winter with very little snow and they had to
relocate to near Fargo, if memory serves. The story was still set here
though.

Funny thing, one of the primary characters, the Sheriff, was a woman
and was pregant in the story. The real sheriff at the time, Frank Ball,
had a hard time convincing some media folks from out of town, who would
call him, that he was the sheriff and no, he wasn't pregnant.

Pretty good flick. Although, we all don't talk like that (well, ok,
maybe just a little...sometimes)

Ha!

I grew up in Fargo (Fargo South HS, NDSU). When the movie came out, I was
practically rolling in the aisles whenever the characters spoke. Yes, it's
exaggerated a bit, but the accents are very much like that. They caught it very
nicely.

My wife says when I call home to talk to my parents, my Norwegian accent comes
back. Ya, sure....

My wife (who took a few theater courses) observed that it appeared that
the whole cast had the same voice coach.

My grandfather was born and in Brainerd in 1895. He grew up there and spoke
only Swedish until he was 13.
