The streets are really weird there and there's always huge clusters of pedestrians everywhere.

My father lived in south Minneapolis some time before I was born. He told me when I was older that he used to get off work and go straight to his apartment, never looking back or around, never stopping for anything - and ran straight up the stairs. My dad's not a paranoid kind of guy but he was terrified. One rare occasion when he had to go to the gas station, his trip was ruined because someone was holding the attendant at gunpoint.

Good old Mpls.

Are you new to the area?

It rains so hard here sometimes you can't sleep through it.

One place I went to when I was there which you might get a kick out of is Nye's Polonaise. Good Polish food, great live polka music, and an interestingly mixed crowd of young punk types rubbing elbows with elderly people.
