♪♪ >> CATHY: AW, WE MISS J.G.

HERE IN THE STUDIO.

ALL RIGHT, KIDS.

TIME FOR THE ISTORY QUESTION, FOR YOUR HISTORY BUFFS AT HOME TO PERK UP FOR THIS WEEK'S INDEX FILE SECTION.

ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU WHO LIVE IN BECKER COUNTY.

OUR QUESTION THIS WEEK IS ABOUT A MYSTERY PLACE, NOT A MYSTERY PERSON.

LET'S TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO THE 1930s.

A STRUCTURE IN DETROIT LAKES CLAIMS TO BE THE SMALLEST BUILDING OF ITS TYPE IN THE WORLD.

COMMON AT THE TIME, THIS TYPE OF STRUCTURE REMAINS POPULAR TODAY.

YOUR TASK IS QUITE SIMPLE.

TELL US WHAT THIS STRUCTURE IS AND WHERE IT IS TODAY.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU WHETHER YOU ARE CALLING FROM BUNGALOW BAY, CABIN CREEK, OR HUNTING SHACK LAKE.

651-229-1430 IS THE HANDY NUMBER TO CALL.

YOU CAN ALSO HOP ONLINE AND DROP US A NOTE.

ALMANAC@TPT.ORG IS THE EMAIL ADDRESS TO USE.

WHILE YOU'RE ON THE INTERNET, POP OVER TO OUR WEBSITE, TPT.ORG/ALMANAC.

YOU CAN REWATCH TONIGHT'S SHOW, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF SPECIAL EVENTS COMING UP THAT YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR.

"ALMANAC" IS TURNING 40 YEARS OLD THIS YEAR.

40 YEARS OLD.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

WOW!

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WE'VE BEEN AROUND THAT LONG.

SO -- BUT YOU PROBABLY SAW THE FUN MINI SET PIECES EARLIER IN THE SHOW.

THAT WAS FOUR DECADES AGO.

BEFORE OUR BIG CELEBRATION IN DECEMBER, WE ARE HOSTING A COUPLE OF TRIVIA MAFIA NIGHTS TO CELEBRATE BECOMING MIDDLE-AGED.

ONE IN ROCHESTER AND ONE JUST ACROSS THE RIVER IN MINNEAPOLIS.

MORE DETAILS AND A LINK TO SIGN UP ARE ON THE WEBSITE AT TPT.ORG/ALMANAC.

MAKE SURE YOU CLICK CAREFULLY ON THE LINK FOR THE CITY YOU WANT TO DRIVE TO.

JUST ENOUGH TIME LEFT FOR SOME SHOW-ENDING MUSIC.

THIS WEEK BACK IN 1997, LUCY KAPLANSKY PAID US A VISIT HERE IN STUDIO "B."

TAKE A LISTEN, AND WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
