Welcome Halfswede! I am reminded of a very, very small western town that sprung up in my youth. At first, it was just a post office and store that began near the crossroads of a cattle transfer point -- a juxtaposition of highway and railroad. After a while, there was a hotel, then another, then general store, hardware store, some houses, a couple saloons, a restaurant, a tavern, and finally, an A&W rootbeer stand. Then they grew.
This is what DI seems like to me, and as a kid I always envied those who in at the beginning to be a part of the initial growth of the town. Even though I grew up in a small place, it was already formed, with government, sheriff, library, schools, streets, gas stations, fast food, restaurants, etc.
Pretty cool to be part of the genesis of your home away from home.
