If you’ve recently moved to Bellingham, or are wanting to check things out to see what all the buzz is about zip codes 98225, 6, 7, and 9... this show is for you! Whether you are a young professional, fully-entrenched in family life, or are getting out of the rat race of metropolitan life, let AJ and Chris be the first to welcome you to Bellingham! We’ve got a boatload of places to go and things to do here in this wonderful town of ours.

AJ has a Clarification from last week’s episode:

25:40 in- whats the show pops- Here come the brides (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Come_the_Brides)
-*Here Come the Brides* is an American (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) comedy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_comedy) Western (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_(genre)) series from Screen Gems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_Gems) that aired on the ABC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company) television network from September 25, 1968 to April 3, 1970. The series was loosely based upon the Mercer Girls project (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercer_Girls), Asa Mercer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asa_Mercer)'s efforts to bring civilization to old Seattle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle) in the 1860s by importing marriageable women from the east coast cities of the United States, where the ravages of the American Civil War (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War) left those towns short of men.

5:00 in - Bellingham: WA, SC, MN, MA, but NO MAINE


Thanks, AJ’s mom!
