Please help! We need info about Hibbing

[Oryliss & Mariranne]

We moved from southern Indiana 2yrs ago and the ticks are horrible there.Some places if you walk into the grass wearing shorts you come out looking like your wearing black socks.Locals call them turkey ticks they are very small almost like chiggers.Yes we definitely are wanting to move there just saving some money now.Thanks for the information you have given us.

The ticks are bad if you plan on spending time in the woods alot. Hibbing doesnt offer alot for jobs but Duluth has plenty of work for welders.

Hibbing has always been BIG on education. In the 1920s the high school had a swimming pool and indoor track--still does. Just be respectful, you'll love it.

I don't think tightening the reins on grades wil necessarily keep out the crime regarding the Junior College. Yes you would have students who did better in school, but it doens't mean that the "troublemakers" can't get in. All it means is that the "troublemakers" will probably have to work a little harder to get in.

Why do you have to drive Chevy or Ford(and wear a baseball cap) to fit in Hibbing?

A swimming pool in the school? Very nice. More schools should have one and it looks like physical education is appreciated as well in this era of cutting gym class.
