The idyllic life in Red Lake County

There was nothing really new in CBS On the Road correspondent Steve Hartman’s piece this week on Chris Ingraham, who moved to Red Lake County after declaring it the worst place to live in America.

But it’s another chance to see the high falutin’ East Coast media pay attention to us, even if it is to profile a high falutin’ East Coast media guy living the good life in flyover country.

Though he moved to the real America, he’s still got his trolls.
