My family and I are making some sacrifices to send me for some civic work in Minneapolis next week. I have never been to the city (or State of Minnesota for that matter).
If there are others similarly occupied next week, or those who have useful advice, I would be grateful to hear from you and/or assist however I am able.
You do not stand alone.
Blessings to all.
Prays for MN you guys are amazing.
I don’t know that it is the best time to come here. But Minnesota is a beautiful state. There is obviously a lot going on. Be aware of your surroundings. Avoid trouble if you can at least for the moment. There are many amazing places up here. Can’t really say a lot more. Others who live here may be able to give you more information. I’ve only been here about a year and a half. Good luck and stay safe.
I was only there once for a long weekend. In September we were able to rent city bikes and follow a path along the Mississippi. I imagine it’s hard to reach that path this time of year but I felt like the spirit of the river was very powerful, maybe you’ll feel its energy there.
The wedding we went to was at the botanical garden. We didn’t get to explore but I find that when you’re in a city in super bitter cold a trip to a green house can be restorative.
Thank you for your civic work!
I arrive tonight and will be there all week, so I will definitely need something positive to look forward to. A trip to the botanical garden would do wonders for a recharge. Thanks for the great tip!!
Hi there, I’m traveling to MN tomorrow to help out my family (I was born in Mpls)—feel free to DM me if you are still around or want to connect about anything. Don’t know that I’ll have time to see the gardens on this trip, alas!
