A great thread- My dad (the jokester that he is) always had to talk about the "brown" weather ball : - )
How about the Foshay Tower being the tallest building in the Minneapolis skyline?? RT's speech at the DFL convention really won me over when he told about looking out over the city from the top of the Foshay. I also have similar memories. How about the Young Quinlen store. As a young girl, I remember it being a big deal to go there with my grandma, ride in the old fashioned elevator (with elevator operator) and have lunch in the tea room. Very grown up! This year what's missing is DAYTONS! on Nicollet Mall. I personally refuse to call it Marshall Fields. For me, DAYTONS at Christmas has so many memories that I refuse to call it anything else. My kids always feel the need to correct me. Obviously a different generation. At least they kept the 8th floor auditorium and the Oak Grill. Does anyone remember the Porky's drive in at 58th and Lyndale?
