Bill Croke celebrates his brand-new old-fashioned lifestyle: living upstairs in an old brick building in downtown Salmon Idaho.
As the cost of housing and fuel skyrockets, Bill Croke
wonders who – besides immigrants – will be willing to
fry the hamburgers and clean the toilets of towns like Cody,
Wyo.
New Yorkers may pride themselves on rudeness, but they

Bill Croke enjoys a rite of spring peculiar to small
