[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

Going for a few days next week.

Any suggestions for places to go or places to eat?

There's a big damn mall in Bloomington.

You going by yourself, family or friends?

Business. Come in on Sunday - leave Thursday morning. Golf on Monday and appointments during the next two days. Nights pretty much free.

Rudolph's used to be OK for ribs; I think it's kind of overblown.
Only one place you can truly go at night and I think the uppermidwestSportsJournalists.com will agree....


Nye's -- the best drinking bar in America, so says Chris Jones...

Summer will be next Saturday from 12:43 p.m. to 4:17 p.m. so you picked a good weekend to be there.

Bring your coat. It's cold as ****.

Of course, I've only been there in the winter.

Since the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices closed, there's really no reason to go.

Where you actually staying and what kind of food do you want, Chris?

What happens when I'm there next month for the PGA?

Can't you northerners extend it a month?

There's a stripper in Minneapolis that needs some consoling.

I went to an English pub Downtown that had lawn bowling on the roof. Now, I didn't lawn bowl, but I remember they had it.
Forget the name, but it was a decent place with an OK beer selection.

It's called Britt's Notepad...really good pasties and was told the fish and chips was quality. the outdoor seating on the main drag face a cool shelter that sometimes has outdoor music during the day. at night lawn bowling, as was mentioned, but forget getting to play, half the time it's closed and guarded by several gangly looking punks. lots of english ales to choose. also recommend a really nice italian restuarant a couple blocks down on the other side of the street, the name escapes me but had good food. will mention that the price of some places isn't the most journalist-friendly.
also there's boat tour that cruises the mississippi, nice way to kill a couple hours during the day.

pasties?

 

[bumpy mcgee]

not the good kind, long a sound...basically they're meat pies (not the bad kind). a shell of fried bread filled with ground beef, carrots, peas and onions. very old world.
