whao, road trip part 1+1+1

[andylawcc]

hehe.... if there's one good thing i have to say about living in the mid west is that it's in the middle of everything: making each state a bit more accessable by driving. 3 weeks ago I hit up Minn. for a concert, and it jump started my road trip craze. ever since I have been visiting states during weekends, sleeping at rest stops, eating boxes of cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner, taking tons of pictures (35mm film, no digi cam), and filling tanks of gas.

in short, I must say St. Paul, MN is TEH city I want to live in (urr... without the snow that is).

list of cities I visited
Des Moine, IA
St Paul, MN
Chicago
Indianapolis, IN (kinda dissapointed, but still a nice city)
Pittburg, Penn (nice little city)
New York, NY

cities passed by which I didn't have time to check out
Kansas City
St. Louis
Columbus OH



and damn, New Jeresy got cheap gas

You didn't stop here in Minneapolis? That's too bad, I think there is a lot more to do here on the west side of the river.

well, I was in a hurry to go back to work the next day... so I rushed thru downtown Minneapolis. It was a Sunday and everything literally was closed. i did manage to take a picture of Gameworks and Target Center. I tried to find that "oldest Greek or Kurdish" resturant, but no one picked up the phone... so I drove back to Grand Ave section and had some German lunch and left with haste.

Indeed, I just moved Uptown in May and I love it.

There are a few Famous Dave's around town. The one Uptown (Hennepin and Lake) has live blues every night, its quite the place.
