Once again, we have one of those Iowa "communities" that appears to be a general locale rather than a town-like settlement. There are the usual pig and cattle references, and also a soil series, and a bucketload of false hits because Vinje is apparently a pretty common Norwegian name; it is also the name of two "municipalities" (actually more like what in the USA would be called a township) in Norway. Anyway, the Post-Bulletin article discloses that the building that is now a bar has been a whole series of commercial enterprises over the years; meanwhile the Lutheran church a quarter mile to the west, which used to be in the middle of its cemetery across the road until the 1940s-'50s, is the only other building anyone says is "in" Vinje. There is a house behind the bar, and there used to be one diagonally across the intersection from the bar, but putting it all together, the "community" comes across as a fairly diffuse area of farms rather than a town-ish concentration. And while I'm at it, the supposed population of 2 is a cutesy way of the saying that the proprietors of the bar live there. Mangoe ( talk) 03:13, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
