Today is the last day and I’m noticing many attendees walking with a hitch in their step. The weather has been great for this time of year. Got my picture taken with Mary Tyler Moore (her statue) and appeared on the Channel 4 CBS morning show (in the window) on the way to the convention center. My head is abuzz with all the ideas and practical knowledge I have been exposed to during the presentions.
I think the convention center was a great place – comfortable seats (sat in a variety of them) – plenty of restrooms (Women’s Restroom on the 2nd floor usually had no waiting) – good lighting and sound systems. The only thing I would change (this is out of PLA’s control) is the room numbering. I looked at the diagram in the program but L100 being two floors below 100 goofed me up yesterday afternoon. I know L meant lower level but since I was also looking for L100 F-H, I was concentrating on the room letters and not the letter in front of the room number.
We have done much walking around downtown and it is very clean. A wide variety of eateries and attractions are easily accessed. It has been a pleasure to be in Minneapolis.
