		<description><![CDATA[Upon starting at Hastings College, I had embarked on an adventure to a small city in the middle of Nebraska. Being from Omaha, it was a culture shock. No nightlife, lack of entertainment, and minimal chain restaurants. I thought I would hate it. But, spending most of my time on campus taught me how much more important the people are—instead of all the available activities.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always lauded Hastings for the LACK of chain restaurants.  We have the fast food explosion, but when it comes to dining, the locally owned restaurant reigns in Hastings – that is not such a bad thing.  I cannot understand when people travel, why would you go to a chain restaurant when you can do this anytime?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we drove into Hastings from the north Tuesday evening, I experienced a great sense of comfort and warmth. We had been in Minnesota for just one week, for a granddaughter’s seventh birthday and an appointment, and we had had a wonderful time visiting with family and experiencing a new museum and interesting restaurants.

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.]]></description>
