This is another thing I have wanted to do for quite a while. I have a list on my phone that I’ve been accumulating over a number of years of locations where I happened upon urban art. I created a route in Mapquest and hubby agreed to drive me around to them all then let … More Urban Art – Minneapolis
I’ve been wanting to visit the American Swedish Institute for many years and finally the stars aligned and hubby and I went this week shortly after they opened in the morning. What an immense house with beautiful woodwork, stained glass and many beautiful and unique fireplaces. It was once owned by and built for Swan … More The American Swedish Institute, Minneapolis

When we checked … More Another review of Hell’s Kitchen, Minneapolis

Hubby loves oysters and this place does them well, apparently. I am not a fan of this seafood. I do love their peel and eat shrimp … More Stella’s Fish Cafe – Minneapolis, MN
Every first Saturday of the month is “free first Saturday” at the Walker so we took advantage and traveled across the river to Minneapolis today.
