Farmers Markets in Minneapolis
September 26, 2008The Metrodome: Minneapolis’ Metro Multitasker
September 24, 2008Onward we go… Our next stop is the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, located about three blocks straight southwest of the Guthrie Theater (map).

Stop #4 The Guthrie Theater: Innovative, Exciting, Blue
September 20, 2008On we go… After an intense trek from the Mill City Museum south all the way across the street, we have arrived at the new Guthrie Theater (map).

First Stop: The Segway Magical History Tour
September 8, 2008The tour begins! Our first stop is the Segway Magical History Tour of the Riverfront District of Minneapolis.

Before the tour begins – let’s get our bearings!

Our journey will be tracked on an interactive Google Map that I have created especially for this tour. There is a link to the map under [...]
Welcome Aboard the Twin Cities Blog Tour!
September 1, 2008Hello and welcome to Twin Cities Tour Guide! What do you think of when somebody mentions the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul? Mediocre football teams? Endless winter floggings by mother nature? The Mary Tyler Moore show? Tater tot hotdish? Even after spending four years at St. Olaf College, less than 45 [...]
