Well, the title isn't completely accurate. We did have the sun for 1 and 1/2 days, but the rest of our stay here has been rainy or snowy. It's not even Halloween yet!
But, I've managed to get a taste of the town. I think the most unique place so far has been an old dining car called Mickey's. It's been in business for over 70 years and operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In fact, it's on the National Register of Historic Places. My girlfriend and I had breakfast there one rainy Minnesota morning: blueberry buttermilk pancakes for her and a Denver omelette with hashbrowns for me. WOW! It was so good that our stomachs ached afterwards. Good thing I took waited a half an hour before going to the gym :) If you are ever in town, you should definitely check this place out. Sit at the bar so you can watch the guy cook everything on the griddle and multi-task like a banshee (amazing) and watch the middle aged waitress look busy no matter what she's doing. For all you actors, this is a great place to character study!
I'm looking forward to our next stop: Nashville, TN. I have a lot of family in that area, and it looks like I'll get to see a pile of them!
