Lake Wobegon

Lake Wobegon is a fictional town in the U.S. state of Minnesota, said to have been the boyhood home of Garrison Keillor, who reports the ''News from Lake Wobegon'' on the radio show ''A Prairie Home Companion''. Its location is believed to be north of St. Cloud and is claimed to be the town of Holdingford.
== Name ==

On the show Keillor says the town's name comes from a fictional old Indian word meaning "the place where we waited all day in the rain (you )." Keillor explains, "''Wobegon'' sounded Indian to me and Minnesota is full of Indian names. They mask the ethnic heritage of the town, which I wanted to do, since it was half Norwegian, half German."〔(Post to the Host, A Prairie Home Companion website, October 23, 2008 )〕 The English word ''woebegone'' is defined as "affected with woe" and can also mean "shabby, derelict or run down." The term could also be a portmanteau of ''woe'', ''be'', and ''gone'', as in "woe, be gone".
