McDonalds Playland In West St Paul

I made a quick stop at the McDonalds in West St Paul, a place I used to visit when I was younger. Often my mom and dad would take me to the playland here. It was just a simple playground with McDonalds characters as parts of the rides. The best part of it was the tram that would take you from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill where the playground was located. Looking back at what they used to do for the kids was amazing. No one today would ever do anything like this at a fast food restaurant. All that remains in the path up the hill, which is located near the current drive through road, plus the artwork on the cement wall.

 

Place To Eat In St Paul

For as long as I can remember, Savoy Inn has stood in this location on Seventh Street and the end of the Lafayette Bridge in St Paul. I've heard so many good things about this place, they must be doing something right because they are still there year after year. Yet, I have never paid a visit to this restaurant. The longer I post photos of the Twin Cities, the more I realize there are many things I have not tried, been to, stopped at, in my very own neighborhood.

Painted Bricks Or Natural Color

I made a visit through St Paul's East Side Neighborhood and drove past this building that caught my eye. The building has been refurbished in someway, but I'm curious if the red brick is painted or is that the natural color of it? Despite the sign that reads 'The Strip Club' I can assure you, this is a restaurant that a friend of mine has suggested to eat at. I will stop in there soon, but today's stop was only for a quick photo and to find the exact location.

Does This Need A Crafty Post Title

I've seen funny foreign restaurant names posted around the internet before that were suggestive or a close to a dirty word, but never did I ever expect to see one around the Twin Cities. I hope some of you find the humor in the photo as I did when taking it.

Look, A Moose

I have seen a moose in person before when I was in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Norther Minnesota, but this is as close as you'll be when you'll come to seeing a moose in the Twin Cities area. This moose can be found on Highway 13 and 35E in Mendota Heights.

FYI: I've had two nights of issues in a row while trying to post. Things were not cooperating for various reasons.
