Michael McIntee, personal historian and filmmaker behind the amazing "Family" video, brings us more first-hand Minnesota history:
It's a story about how my Grandfather, Nat B. Fish, came up with the crazy idea of dragging the post office down the main street to save it from demolition in the middle of the depression. The relocated building was then used as City Hall until it was sadly torn down in the 80's. This is a short segment from a half hour documentary I did on my mother's family.

Bloody hell! Sorry this video hasn't worked for the last day. A casualty of late night posting and other stuff.
Don't fret, Chuck. MN Stories cognoscenti just clicked the Quicktime link under the graphic and saw the video anyway. Michael McIntee's stories are great.
By the way, I sent a link of the video to another Michael McIntee, editor of Late Night With David Letterman's "Wahoo Gazette".
