A person could see multiple bad choices being made there-barney would get more than 1 round maybe even 2.

Thanks for the link Doug! @bersaguy

I'm in the suburbs now, used to live in Minneapolis when I was younger and singler. That city is a source of so much stuff to smile at...

I'm just hoping all those "smart" people up north don't move down here.

Why would you wish something that bad on your friends down here?...…..

Tom, got a question for you. I’m coming through that area this weekend. Was thinking about making stop at the Mall of America as per my custom. Is Bloomington keeping a lid on things like I expect they would?

Yes. Seriously. I love the Mall of America. They even have truck parking. It’s located in a suburb and one that I would expect to be less understanding of shenanigans considering the high number of tourist dollars. That said, if it’s wild like the city, I’d be best to avoid it. Nah mean? So yeah, it was a serious question. Why wouldn’t it be?

I'm glad you already got the bait business. I'm not sure the police are back on patrol up there yet..…..

I think they're doing okay in Bloomington, but I'm on the north end of the Metro area and generally stay up here.

They do have lots of pretty good options for food, so I can imagine that would be pretty appealing.

Be sure to check their hours and curbside delivery options and whatnot, obviously. I know they delayed the reopening due to all the protests, but they did reopen.

If you can get there, Atomic Tactical in Savage are pretty good people. I used to shop there a bit when they were on Lyndale (I think it was), but haven't since they moved.
