Following Kanye out West

An eccentric global celebrity has become an everyday presence in a tightly connected town of about 10,000 people. Jonah Bromwich, a features reporter, visited Cody, Wyo., to learn more about how locals feel about the new superstar next door: Kanye West. He chatted with Lindsey Underwood, an editor, about what he found there.

Lindsey: What’s Kanye doing in Cody?

Jonah: He’s living there, first of all. That was surprising to me. He’s there a lot, he’s made friends with a lot of the people who live there, and people have gotten used to seeing him around. I was there asking questions about him for a couple of days, and it got back to him pretty quickly. He’s also moved his brand, Yeezy, there. So he’s designing shoes, making music, basically being Kanye, but in Wyoming.

Lindsey: Cody has been an enclave for the rich and famous for some time. What’s the appeal?

Jonah: It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. It’s really close to Yellowstone, and it’s just unbelievable looking. Sky, mountains, wild animals, etc. There are actually a lot of bears, which is probably appealing for some people.
