I'm easy. :)

...but not cheap, right?! :D SallyK, I hope you can make it. Let's set a time and place (is the Mudpie ok?) and whoever can make it, GREAT!
Shewolf, what else do you have planned for that day? Are you flying in? Do you catch another flight in the evening? Are there people there you know? Do you need a ride from the airport or anything? Let me know :)

LOL Terra. I'm arriving by bus, and leaving by bus... I figured I'd spend the day doing the tourist thing, I really wanna check out the falls! So nothing really planned except photo opportunities and wandering around like an Australian bumpkin... ;) Oh, and making sure I get back to the terminal in time! LOL

You could come visit me. :D

Or not...

I'd love to Meo, but you don't live in Minneapolis, or Virginia, or Ely... and I'm busbound...

But I am NOT busbound! That's why I'm hounding you with all these questions! If you don't have anyone else to hang out with, then hang out with me! We could go visit Meo maybe (where are you at Meo?). What time do you have to be back at the terminal? (Ah, the bus, I remember it so well!) The falls you say? Minnehaha falls? I haven't been there in YEARS! That would be SO cool! Come on! I wanna play too! (I feel like an overexcited puppy) :rolleyes: :D

LOL That would be unreal Terra! I have to be back at 4:30pm (the bus leaves at 5:30pm). Yeah, the Minnehaha falls, and St Anthony Falls? Anything worth a picture anyway! LOL Don't worry, I feel like an overexcited puppy too! LOL I'd love to play (!!) with you too Terra!

Ok then! :D I'll PM you my friends' # where I'll be staying! Or I could just meet you in the morning at the bus depot?

It's looking more promising for me to have lunch with you guys :) Do you have a time nailed down yet?

Not yet. We've got the whole day booked up now starting with a shower and breakfast for Shewolf, a trip to Downtown St. Small to cruise the skyways and check out the capitol, then we'll head to Mpls and do the co-op and lunch. Is there a time that works better for you Sally? I'm figuring around 11:30 or 12ish. But there's no set schedule so....
After lunch we're hitting Minnehaha falls and the Walker/Scupture Gardens (free admission Thursdays! woo hoo!)
If you want, Sally, you can PM me a number where I can get ahold of you that day and I can give you a call before we go. Otherwise, I can give you my friends # where I'll be staying and you can give a call the day before and we'll set a time then. Sound like a plan? Hope to see you then! :)

So EXCITED!

Sorry just had to add that... it'd be great if you could join us SallyK!

I have bad news...a veggie friend of mine who lives in Mpls informed me today that Mud Pie closed down:cry:

I think we should go to the French Meadow Bakery or the raw food place (can't think of the name off the top of my head) instead...
what do you think?

Really? Bummer deal! Good to know though. Either of those others sound fine. The raw food place would be cool to try. Eh, we got time to figure it out. I leave today!! I'll take a closer look when I get there. :vebo: (doin' the happy dance!) :vebo:

Is it Ecopolitan Restaurant?

I'm in Owatonna.

Of course, I don't really think my parents would approve of me meeting with strange (not to say you're strange, but to them you are) women from the internet. Who knows, you could be serial killers who lure girls named Meo into their traps to kill them. Or worse, you could... rob my house! Or you could just be pretending to be veg*n and really be cannibals coming after me!

Not that I believe any of those are true, but you know, they're possibilities.

Have fun on your trips!

Yep, Ecopolitan is the raw foods place.

Let's go there. I'm really interested in trying some raw food dishes. Sally, I'll PM you my friends cell # when I get back from Atlanta and we can figure out a good time for meeting. This is so cool! :D

If you're in MPLS on Thursday (the 26th). We will be meeting at Ecopolitan around noon for lunch. Anyone else here that will join us?

Something cute...

:hi:
I'm from Minnesota. I'm currently living quite far north.. about an hour from the canadian border.. and an hour from North Dakota.
I'm moving to Minneapolis in August- I'm going to school at the U of M.

Hey, I'm live in Winona Minnesota about 2 hours from the twin cities. Its a small river town, nice people here though.
I'm new to the forum. I was hesitant about posting a thread "I guess, I just need a friend" but you all seem like very nice helpful people.
Now I'm just taking a look around the forum, seems like a place I will be frequenting in my now lonely spare time.

Hi Sorrow! Welcome to Veggies Boards! I't s great to see other Minnesotans here!! You are going to love Veggie Boards! Have fun reading all the good posts!
:)
Sally

I'd like to try to revive this thread a little if I may!

Meo, have you been to PB Loco in the Mall of America yet?? It's a little eatery that's entirely focused on peanut butter. They also make their very own vegan bars.
Apparently they just opened recently and they are a locally owned store hoping to eventually become a chain.

I hope they have success beyond their wildest dreams!

I think I'm talking to myself in here :think:

Anyway, the Living Green Expo is coming up at the Minnesota State Fair grounds and I love going. I've gone the past two years and it's really great.

Here's the link:

It's May 1 & 2 from 10 am to 6 pm.

If anyone is going, let me know!

I think I'm talking to myself in here

Wait, wait! I'm here. :hi: Just found this MN thread today - I'll help revive it. I live west of Chaska, but work in the Hopkins/Minnetonka area.

Hi qetta! So nice to have you following this thread! Now I won't feel like I'm talking to myself anymore! :D
Do you have anything to share about your experiences dining/shopping/etc as a veg*n in the Twin Cities area?
