Need a good read? Here are three recommendations from Amanda Dickson's guests on A Woman's View: "Two Old Women" is an Alaskan legend about two old women who were abandoned by their tribe.

"A Passage to India" is a wonderful classic from the 60's that speaks to many modern issues when three people from England come to India and are shocked when they cannot befriend the Indian people because of race.

Why should we care about the Inland Port? Think about it this way - we are smack dab in the middle of the United States in terms of shipping. We have a brand new airport and wonderful rail line. We live in an age where we're moving from retail to fulfillment, and if we have an inland port we become a key part of the supply chain.
