| Introduction | Jerome Christenson is the former head word doctor and chief pixel wrangler for the Winona Daily News. He’s lived his entire life in that part of Minnesota wedged between Wisconsin and Iowa where he grew up reading “Li’l Abner” in the Winona Daily News. Jerome’s personal history in Winona dates to days (and nights) as a student at Winona State College. Professor Henry Hull’s incomparable stories of exploding steamboats, rampaging buffalo and the ladies of Second Street “who would go steady for money” sparked a fascination with arcane local lore he continues to pursue nearly four decades later, even when he should be working on something else. In November 2022, Winona voters seated him at the city council table for a four-year sentence - er, term -- trusting he'll do what he can to make Winona a swell place for everyone to live. He's doing his best, 'cuz he lives here too. |
