Bug-A-Boo Bay: Great Caribbean Food!, Alexandria

 crmeers Says:  This is the Place to go in Alexandria, MN. The food is wonderful. It has the ambiance of a local seaside restaurant, while it is by a small lake. They really go all out on decorations here, with the palm trees, and the fish tank. It's SO great!

Good, Bad, or otherwise

Good, Bad, or otherwise, Alexandria

 alexane Says:  This is Viking Country. Period. Plain and simple. Like it or not, these folk are Vikings fans with their dying breaths. They will complain about the bad seasons and boast about the good. You won't get pummeled for cheering on another team, but watch out for those icy glares....

Slow Down

Slow Down, Alexandria

 chellediva Says:  They call it the Alexandria Lakes Area. A popular activity around here is 'cruising the lakes'. We have a chain of lakes that runs all around town, as well as many other lakes and wetlands throughout the entire county. An evening drive can show you dozens of different lakes...
