STACEY HEGGEN: A warm city, even in winter
Imagine completely starting over in a new city. It might make you happy, or anxious, or sad, or scared... Maybe you don’t even have to imagine it because, like Amy and Steven Armstrong, it’s something that you’ve experienced.

STACEY HEGGEN: Is your firm YP-friendly?
I’ve often been asked by employers how to attract a young person to a workplace, and how to keep them? A good number of Gen Ys, those born between 1980 and 2000, find things like meaningful work, flexibility, and opportunities to advance all attractive when looking for employment.

I grew up in Park River, N.D., and could tell you not only who almost anyone was, but where they lived, too. Going to the grocery store was a social event. It’s nice to say that Grand Forks is similar to that — no wonder why it feels so much like home to me!
