THE FINN HALL
Anons, I almost drove past this, but I've been going down the spiritual rabbit hole Q has lead many of us down and felt a ping from my guides to stop and take a look at this heritage site I drove past while out doing errands today.
I am so glad I did. It is relevant to everything going on.
>In 1916 Finnish immigrants constructed a hall near this site under the name of a literary association (Kirjallisuus Seura) forming a lending library. Although they brought their diet, language, and saunas with them, some old country beliefs were left behind. These people found it necessary to meet where they could study the social customs or their new country, challence and question partisan politics, and reflect on new [spiritual?] insights. At this cultural center were held language classes, meetings, athletic activities, wedding dances, funerals, and programs with oratory, drama, poetry, cvocal and instrumental music. Steaming kettles of coffee and the warmth of dignified waltzes, pulsating polkas, and schottisches brought togetherness to these rugged individualists.
>Life to them was involvement.
Interesting thoughts I pondered at this nearly abandoned and neglected site.
1) the hall mentioned is long gone
2) it would be illegal for the community to rebuild that hall on shared land (zonings, county regs, outrageous permit fee's etc)
3) many of the activities listed would actually be prohibited if you attempted to do them on the site now
4) what the hell is up with the censorship of history? notice the removed word.
5) the feds abandoned funding for the site and the state DOT and county of neglected it. Just about the only thing you are allowed to do is quietly eat your lunch, alone and in solitude at one of the picnic tables or benches, which are hard to even find being almost completely grown over with foliage.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could go back to the ways of the old days, where we could just share some space with the community and socialize with each other, help our community grown and improve without layers and layers of corporate profits and government bureaucracy in the way?
