So a little info about Brainerd and the surrounding area Brainerd is the capital and center of commerce, culture, media, finance, and...

Downtown Brainerd is pretty easy to find, to the northwest where the two rivers meet is Andover, an industrial inner suburb. The only other developed area so far is the suburban city of Mendota which is just north of Andover. (I should probably mention the map I'm using, the incredible map "The Ring of Fire" by Blunder) The Andover railyard located adjacent to Union Station. This rail hub takes...
