A bank, a bar, a restaurant, a water tower and a college.
Oh . . . a museum, too.
That's about it when one considers Peru, Neb., population not much.
Then one day in April, a funny thing happened. A bus full of celebrities from the
other Peru -- no, not Illinois . . . from the country in South America -- rolled into town. A tourism film ensued. One for the country in South America.And, oddly enough, for the tiny burg in southeastern Nebraska.
The story has been all over the Nebraska press. A local band has become more famous in Peru than it is here.
Tourists from Peru, the country, are showing up in Peru, the teeny town in a corner of the Cornhusker State.
I wonder what the Peruvian expression for "Go figure" is.
