Stockholm the City That Swims and a Finnish Bath Tale
Lubbock’s David Hester reports from Stockholm where a Finnish steam bath and icy Baltic plunge test a traveler’s endurance. He notes Stockholm’s island geography, royal palace, parks, and landmarks, and details Sweden’s KF cooperative system with seven thousand stores and nearly a million members shaping prices and goods. The piece contrasts Swedish cooperative vigor with American competition and reflects on local cooperative roles in Sweden and Lubbock.
