I know there’s one park that everyone in Hastings knows about and loves. It’s Brickyard. If you don’t know about Brickyard Park and you live in Hastings, I’m going to ask what hole you’ve been living in!

Hastings is a community that when asked about, nearly every resident will remark “it’s a nice, safe town—a great place to raise your family.” Several weeks ago a concrete boulder crashed through the secure, snow globe life I had been living here…literally.

If you worry about having a sustainable workforce and a decreasing population base, stop asking the twenty-something’s why they are still here.
