 Our tribute to Mary Tyler
Moore by zrim
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it.
With each glance and every little movement you show it.
Love is all around, no need to waste it.
You can have a town, why don't you take it.
You're gonna make it after all.
You're gonna make it after all.
For those from lands outside the U.S. and who don't know what I am on about with this tip--The Mary Tyler Moore Show is perhaps the best loved AMerican comedy show of all time. It was set in Minneapolis and had the best cast ever with the grumpy Lou Grant (Ed Asner), the staunch Murray Slaughter (Gavin MacLeod), the bumbling Ted Baxter (Ted Knight) and the girl next door, Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore).
Often times, I am accused of being grumpier than Mr. Grant--I take that as a compliment. Leave a Comment

Peavey Plaza is a sunken, fountain-studded oasis just outside Orchestra Hall (Nicollet Mall - downtown) and is a prime spot for catching free concerts all summer long. Some of the events on the calendar these past few summers were Twin Cities Hot Summer Jazz Fest (where most of my pix were taken), Famous Dave's Blues Fest and Alive after 5/Tunes at Noon concerts every weekday in June - a tradition for 22 years. The list goes on.....
Anyway, all of the concerts are FREE and there are usually some food kiosks available for grabbing lunch or a snack. The only bummer is trying to get a handle on the schedule as it's a little scattered but when in doubt, City Pages (http://citypages.com) is usually the best source for music/theater/festival/gallery showings/special events, etc. I've also included the Orchestra Hall website - for driving directions - and the Downtown Council's website.
Tip: Brit's Pub is directly across the street and a good choice for a pint before or after the concerts. Leave a Comment Directions: See Orchestra Hall website for directions.Website: www.downtownnetwork.org Other Contact: www.minnesotaorchestra.org

This is one of a series of "rocks" -- some of which [as this one does] have smooth ledges for sitting. The young lady is taking advatage of it! You can see the farmers' market behind her. Leave a Comment

 Farmers Market at Nicolette
Mall by Stephen-KarenConn, 1 more photos
Along the way are numerous shops, restaurants with outside dining, hotels, etc. Weather permitting, you may see street entertainers and vendors which help to create a festive atmosphere. In the 1100 block, Peavey Plaza provides a nice place to relax, with fountains and shade trees.
On the beautiful spring day of our visit to Minneapolis the street was loaded with people. Street entertainers and vendors helped to create a festive atmosphere. It certainly seems to be the place to see and be seen in Minneapolis and no trip to the city would be complete without taking a stroll through Nicollete Mall, whether you're shopping, looking, or just stretching your legs.

On summer Thursdays, Nicollet Mall becomes a Farmer's Market. Vendors peddle masses of colorful flowers, fresh vegetables and fruits, honey and other produce for downtown urban dwellers. Don't miss the spiced nuts - they're really yummy! Leave a Comment Directions: Roughly 10:00 - 5:00, both sides of Nicollet Mall.

Best time to go is around Noon or around 5:00 PM when many downtown workers flood onto Nicollet Mall either for a lunchtime stroll or after getting off work. Leave a Comment Directions: Along Nicollet Mall from 4th St. to 12th St.

The IDS Tower surpassed the Foshay Tower in 1971 -- and, counting its antennae, it is the tallest thing in Minnesota!

One great thing in the Twin Cities is that you don't have to go outside in the wintertime. Both cities' downtown buildings are linked by an intricate network of heated skyways. You can literally go anywhere downtown without stepping a foot outside! Leave a Comment
