On the greenway

07.27.2004 · Posted in Home / Minneapolis

I was walking into work on the Greenway this morning when I saw a man walking his pet. This isn’t unusual – there’s normally a few people out doing the same thing. What was unusual about this man was that he was walking his CAT! He had one of those harness leasches hooked up to ...

IKEA trip

Okay, so I was all excited about IKEA opening and then I didn’t even post anything about my trip… or maybe I mentioned it, but I think it deserves it’s own post. We’re here!!! They had an entire parking lot set aside just for the media. It was the closest lot and it was HUGE. ...

My Minneapolis light rail debut

07.26.2004 · Posted in Home / Minneapolis

A couple of weeks back, two buddies from work and I decided to take a lunch hour ride on the new light rail system. This was the funniest part of the trip. The train was stopped, but the cross gate was down and this guy in his wheelchair was just stopped, waiting for it to ...

MN gun law ‘shot’ down

No more biz casual for Target employees

07.14.2004 · Posted in Home / Minneapolis

Man – the Strib is just full of fun articles today! I actually caught wind of this news last month. Target HR sent out a company-wide email mandating the new policy and somebody forwarded me a copy. Thank gawd I work in advertising. Here’s what it said: Employees who do not follow these guidelines will ...

Farmers’ Market day!

06.24.2004 · Posted in Home / Minneapolis

It’s Farmers’ Market day on Nicollet Mall! MMM, good, cherry turnovers right outside of Gaviidae! It’s too bad the two hunky farmer boys no longer work outside of the IDS tower. At least I haven’t seen them this year. It’s funny, though – anyone you ask, “have you seen those two boys outside of the ...
