For a lighter side topic: I have lived in Minneapolis for 24 years after growing up in Chicago and going to college in Bloomington, Illinois (Illinois Wesleyan University). My wife and I were talking at dinner tonight about things that at one time (10 or more years ago) were defining things about Minneapolis and the Twin Cities, which are no longer around today. We came up with the following starter list:
>> The Weatherball (What did the colors mean?) >> OFBD (Old Fashioned Bargain Days) at Dayton's >> Casey Jones and more specifically the Birthday Song (Happy, happy birthday to every girl and boy...) >> Burritos at Seven Markets (although I wasn't around for that) >> Pony rides at Minnehaha Falls Additions??? What does this say about how things have changed?
