During the pandemic, Urban Plains Staff members are participating in “Home on the Plains,” a series in which we reflect on our experiences regarding quarantine from wherever each of us may be.
In these unprecedented times, we will be asking ourselves: How are we experiencing social distancing? What are we learning about ourselves? What are we learning about the communities around us?
The pandemic means I’m back home living with my mom, dad, sister and most importantly, a cat. This is my first time living with a cat, so calling it an “adjustment period” would be an understatement. But in the couple weeks that I’ve been back, I’ve found out that I have quite a bit that I can learn from him.
At Urban Plains, we seek to produce content that celebrates the Midwestern experience. While our staff come from all over the United States, we’ve each made a home in the rolling plains and friendly cities that make up this unique region of the country. In the coming weeks, we hope to be a place to find peace of mind during this unprecedented time. We will continue to share the stories, videos, podcasts, photos, and other content that we know you have an appetite for. Wishing good health to you all.
