              <text>In this interview, Douglas Bester, a longtime resident of Inver Grove Heights, describes his observations and experiences regarding the city’s transition into a suburb. The main points include the different industries introduced into Inver Grove Heights, along with population growth and increased housing. Bester explains how the farming industry in this area has been replaced with service industries. He also describes the population growth in the area, causing increased diversity in the city and forcing the introduction of various forms of housing, such as developments and apartments. Even with all of these changes, Bester believes that Inver Grove Heights has been able to maintain its small town atmosphere in some ways, and that there is plenty of room for the city to continue its growth. &lt;iframe width="370" height="270" src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LMwftsSU6YIYlAJDFoRgDpXVDS6i7gMD/preview" allow="autoplay"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</text>
