May have some more time to start keeping a blog. Spending some time in Minneapolis for work.
Arrived yesterday, and I way over compensated for the cold. Shipped 2 boxes of sweatshirts, hats and gloves, and it’s been over 50 degrees…. warmer than NJ.
Spent the weekend trying to get my bearings on the skyways and downtown area. Came across this statue…
This downtown area is nicer than the warehouse district I’ve been to before. Right across the street from the apartment, there’s a HUGE Target store with a grocery section. Even better than grocery shopping at the CVS in princeton.
Besides being unusually warm, people in the streets are friendly, which takes a little getting used to. Everyone saying hello when they pass and stopping to see if I need help with directions (need to put the map down and stop looking lost….).
There’s many restaurants, shops, and bars in the area, watched the Giants game at Hooters. Got all sorts of local information from people at the bar (another case of people being really friendly).
I was amused by a big sign in Borders saying “Start Fresh, New Year, New You”, and next to it another sign saying the store will be closing. Guess that was there definition of a fresh start.
