The NY Times travel section visits my old stomping grounds
They did not visit 56572. They did, however, visit Alexandria and the Kensington Runestone Museum. They also visited Winona and Wadena. Of course, since the trip was inspired by a story in Bob Dylan's memoirs, it was natural that they visit Rollingstone, population 697.
Read all about it here. Of course, like many travel columns it fails to capture much of the real essense of the place. And it seems like they were so obsessed with following the path that Dylan is said to have told Bono to follow if he really wanted to see the "birthplace of America" that they missed out on some of the more interesting things Minnesota has to offer.
For what it's worth, the conversation they report overhearing in the Wadena Inn & Grill is entirely plausible.
