So...19 across the southern part of MN...you'd hit 169 - north on 169 we could meet in Shakopee/Savage/Burnsville or farther north to Eden Prairie, Edina or Bloomington. Or if you continued on 19 to I35 then north there's Lakeville, Burnsville and Eagan. Hmmm....of those where could we meet? Patio and good selection of beverages...let me do some checking. JimmyMN - any ideas in those parts??

Again, it doesn't matter to me. So you guys figure out a good place and I am so there.

Hope this works out!

Just got caught up on this tread, and count me in. Let name the place, time and date and I will be there.
Can't wait to meet everyone.

Hey, this might just come together!

JimmyMN · 07-25-2005

Best bet is to zero in on either Minneapolis or St. Paul. Sure, I'd like to go to Dock Cafe, PDPappy's, or Lord Fletchers but I think the following list makes more logistic sense. Too bad Bilimbi Bay wasn't still around.. it would have been perfect!

Minneapolis

Cafe Lurcat - Downtown by the Basillica
Black Forrest Inn - Nicollet Avenue, closer to Lake Street
ChatterBox Pub - In the neighborhood on 35th Avenue near Hiawatha
Psycho Suzie's Motor Lounge - Marshall Avenue near Lowry

Saint Paul

WA Frost - Selby Avenue near the Cathedral
Sweeneys - Dale Steet near Summit
Muffaletta - Como Avenue near Hwy-280 in village by UofM St Paul Campus
Moose Country - Formerly Diamond Jim's on Hwy13 near I-35e

Never been to Psycho Suzie, so it's the only place I can't personally recommend. Will try to run over there this afternoon and check it out.

Cafe Lurcat is classy and probably as pricey as WA Frost. Both have fantastic wine selections and at Lurcat, they use different glassware for merlot, cabernet, chardonnay, etc... kind of sexy. Parking at WA Frost is easier.

For something a bit more local, Sweeneys has a nice private courtyard and easy to reach from I-94. ChatterBox is even more local with a Saturday brunch for $10 and probably the best drink prices on the list.

In the event of rain, I think Axels in downtown Mendota would be a terrific backup!!

I knew we could count on you!! Thanks

Now to pick a spot...I'm good with any of them since I'm right between all of them. Those of you how have a preference - please speak up!

NorthMinnesota · 07-25-2005

Hey! I just might be able to make this. We're heading to big old Muscatine, Iowa for a soccer tourney on the 3rd and we may be back in time depending on day and time. Will watch to see when you decide!

playabum17 · 07-25-2005

Woohoo!

This will be so cool if it falls into place.

nadams · 07-25-2005

Becky, have you been to Sweeney's? I think Jimmy had mentioned that they have a nice patio.

Balimbi Bay in Apple Valley or Enjoy-recommended by a friend-
NorthMinnesota may know more about.

I like the idea of a patio. We aren't picky as long as it has cold beer.

I know we still need to decide on place, but what time of the day work's for everyone?

If the weather is decent I think outdoors would be perfect. If I had my druthers, I would like a day time meet as I live 2 and half hours away and would need to stay in a hotel if it gets too late. I wouldn't have to stay in a hotel,but would prefer it as I am not very good at driving at night. I get tired and also can't see as well. But, I won't dictate what everyone else does, I'm a follower.

I've never been to Sweeney's, but know exactly where it is - could practically walk home from there...hee hee Although I don't think I'll have to. An afternoon meet would be fine with me. DH might join in too - depends on what time the little one goes down for a nap and if we've got a sitter. So, like I said before any place - any time works for me. Just let me know.

Well, in the interest of getting something settled. Let's say Sweeney's at 12:30 or 1?

If this goes anything like decision making with my friends, no one ever speaks up and says 'Let's do this'. Everyone keeps saying it doesn't matter to me and no one makes a decision.
