Saginaw, Mich., might be sagging but we can admire it for producing poet and teacher Theodore Roethke, and for preserving his boyhood home.

    Another Saginaw resident checking in. Saginaw has the feel of town balanced on a knife's edge, ready to tip into complete devastation on one side, or a slow, modest prosperity on the other. I suppose our story isn't much different from a couple dozen other small rustbelt cities, but when it's your (adopted) home, if feels different.

    And though I doubt he'll read it here, I too would like to thank Garrison Keillor for coming here. It's the same for bands, speakers, exhibits, shows, or anything else; it's a rare victory when we're able to snag one traveling between Detroit and Chicago and haul it far enough North to put on a show in Saginaw. And we need all the help we can get.
