I enjoyed places like the Sculpture Garden and Punumbra (sp?) the Black theater company. The festivals during the summers were great too, I just could not get it to that Torch Light Parade (I think that is the name of it) that was in St. Paul in the middle of January. What is THAT all about? Why would you want to be out side at night in January to watch a parade in Minnesota?!?!
One thing I do have to say about MN blacks....y'all stick together. When I was getting ready to leave to move back to AtlantaI had about 6 - 7 different people trying to get me a job with their company so I could stay. I couldn't do it! I would like to come back one day and visit though! In June or July!!

We'd love to have you come back if only for a visit.
The Torch Light Parade in January is the kickoff of the Winter Carnival--the winter version of the summer Aquatennial. I don't do the Winter Carnival. But I do do the nightly Holidazzle Parades during the Christmas season. Downtown Minneapolis is all lit up and beautiful and they really get you into the holiday spirit. Of course if you get too cold you can always duck into one of the department stores and shop!
