Not gentrified or yuppiefied, but a place with bare bones studios, affordable and where we could work.
Apparently, Heartland Visioning heard my call. Funding has become available and surveys are being made on the buildings for exactly this to happen.

(sips on her snifter of the above mentioned brandy) I think I’ve got a recipe somewhere for homemade Kahlua. I’ve made it. Better than what you get in the store. The trick, though, is to be patient enough to let it age properly.
