Minneapolis is different than Seattle

My observations thus far:

  • It’s kind of hard to get a cup of coffee!
    • There’s an espresso cart that closes at 10:30am (what is up with that?)
    • Espresso stands w/o soy milk
    • Only found one Starbucks in what must have been miles of walking on the
  • Skyways — wow can you ever get turned around and lost on the skyways
  • Different skyways have different “personalities”
    • shopping — Banana Republic, GAP, Starbucks!!!, Godiva, Saks 5th Avenue, Macy’s etc
    • fast food — Subway, Dairy Queen, a Thai Place, Taco Time etc
    • ??? (I haven’t explored them all yet)
  • Street people who speak French
  • Snow in the weather forecast isn’t a national emergency
  • It’s not warm in Minneapolis, but
  • People in Minneapolis are Really Nice (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/pacificnw/2005/0213/cover.html)

    I think it is going to be faster to walk the streets than negotiate the skyway. Some routes go through stores that will probably not be open as early as PLA meets. So take to the streets. I hope you have comfortable shoes.
