"Part portrait of a place, part rescue manual, part rumination of life and death, Population: 485 is a beautiful meditation on the things that matter." -- Seattle Times

Welcome to New Auburn, Wisconsin (population: 485) where the local vigilante is a farmer's wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives (both of whom work at the only gas station in town), and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Michael Perry loves this place. He grew up here, and now--after a decade away--he has returned.

Unable to polka or repair his own pickup, his farm-boy hands gone soft after years of writing, Perry figures the best way to regain his credibility is to join the volunteer fire department. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks, bar fights and smelt feeds, Population: 485 is a comic and sometimes heartbreaking true tale leavened with quieter meditations on an overlooked America.

Super Soft and Cozy Hoodies
Size: X-Large, Color: Black Heather Pullover, Size: X-Large, Color: Black Heather Pullover
Product: Eversoft Fleece Hoodie Brand: Fruit of the Loom Positives: Super soft and cozy. Light weight and really warm. Easy to pull over. The material is quality and for the cost is an extremely great value. There is an assortment of colors to choose from. Hoodies to go with everything. I am super happy with my purchase and the deal that I got. Negatives: Not super thick, but also fluff up a little after the first wash. Overall Impression: The hoodies look great and are a super good value. I use them daily and recommend them to anyone looking for a good hoodie that doesn’t cost a fortune. There are plenty of colors to choose from, to wear with anything for any occasion, at anytime.

Will buy more
Size: X-Large, Color: Black Pullover
This sweatshirt is a great basic that works for everyone. The fit is comfortable and true to size, but also looks good a little oversized if you prefer a looser style. The material is soft on the inside and warm without being too heavy. It’s perfect for men, women, and teens — super easy to layer or wear on its own. The quality is better than expected for a generic sweatshirt, and it’s held up really well after multiple washes with no shrinking or fading. Simple, cozy, and a great everyday sweatshirt for all sizes and genders!

It’s so soft and comfortable. I wash it a lot and it has held up well so far, I just wish it had pockets but other than. That it’s perfect for work.

Comfortable Everyday Hoodie
Size: Large, Color: Black Pullover
This hoodie is a great basic to have on hand. The fleece material is soft and comfortable, and it provides just the right amount of warmth for cooler mornings and evenings. The fit was true to size, and it held up well after washing without losing its shape. My husband likes wearing it for everyday errands, walks, and casual outings. It's comfortable, lightweight enough to layer, and easy to throw on when you need an extra layer. A solid, affordable hoodie for everyday wear.

solid basic hoodie - but please don't sew the draw string in Fruit of the Loom!!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black Pullover
I love these hoodies and actually have a few of them in my wardrobe - I would give them a 5-star as they're very comfortable, hold-up well to wear and tear, and they're pretty warm... They don't shrink or bleed dye in the wash, great stuff. HOWEVER! They recently started sewing the drawstring in, which is really annoying... I wear the XXL size and the hood is still a bit small for my dome, so I typically don't need the drawstring, but now I can't remove it without trying to remove the stitching and damaging the hood or cutting the ends off, leaving most of them inside the hood - meaning you can't replace the drawstring should you want to (which sometimes I do, like if I'm skiing or what not)... I also work with power tools, which make loose ends like drawstrings outright dangerous, so I really need to be able to remove them easily - I would give these hoodies a 5-star if they stopped sewing the drawstring in
