Minnesota Memories

Mall America was something else. We went in through Norstrom's, one of the four stores that anchor the corners of the mall. It is so large that there is an amusement park in the mall so you can ride the rides summer, winter, fall and spring.




After our visit to the Mall, we took a train and went into downtown Minneapolis.
Athens has its bulldogs, Minneapolis has baseball players. They are on street corners and in front of certain special buildings.
Those overpasses connect the buildings so in the winter folks can go from building to building without going outside.


There she was, standing on the corner, just like her TV program....Mary Tyler Moore, throwing her hat in the air with that wonderful smile.
Well folks, we are on to Grimes, Iowa, just outside of Des Moines, Iowa...working our way back east to end up in Myrtle Beach, SC by September 7.....Your Happy Travelers.

  1. I am so jealous! I want to go to the Mall of America. Maybe a pre-Christmas shopping trip although I'm not sure the weather is accommodating at that time of year.

    Mary Tyler Moore was a role model for we free-thinking women of the 70's and 80's-- thanks for capturing this reminder.
