Whitefish

Her:
I was thinking about your comment the other week, you know when the newspaper reported all that housing being planned for Hungry Horse.
Me:
Ummmm,
Her:
You know, you said that was all going to be low income housing.
Me:
Oh yeah, right.
Her:
I've been thinking about that, I think that is so true.
Me:
Yeah, rich people don't want to live in Hungry Horse, but all the waitresses and service people that can't afford Whitefish have to go somewhere.
Her:
It's true. Whitefish is getting crazy. All these outsiders moving in. Where do they get jobs?
Me:
I hear that it's mostly retirement money. Rich people settling here that don't need jobs. But they are still going to need Waitresses and clerks and lawnmowers and service people.
Her:
And they are so rude. D_ says that she wants to change her address so that no one will think she is one of those Whitefish women.
Me:
Yeah, I've heard her say that. Whitefish is getting a reputation.
Her:
I gotta tell you this Whitefish story
Me:
Okay.
Her:
We were in the Whitefish supermarket the other week at the checkout and this one lady came up and asked "Which one is the Ironhorse line?" Can you believe it? Thinking they are so special that they get their own supermarket checkout line.
