Well Damn! I should have put "limit one per caller".

Ironically... I have many of the same photos in my cell phone... so... I guess I had a bit of an advantage.

Geez, another person comes to MSP and doesn't call. I'll do Bob even one better. Looks like the #6 was taken from the Radisson, or what used to be the Radission. Do they always put you guys in St. Paul? I would think they would pick something close to the airport....

flyTotheSky · August 28th, 2007, 23:49

Is that second picture the Anchor Bar in Buffalo? If so...damn you..lol...those are the best wings I've ever had

I got STL and Leon/Guanajuato...Had a good time in that square down there right before I upgraded and left the comfort of the CoEx system.

Van_Hoolio · August 29th, 2007, 00:16

If it's a longer overnight, they try to put us in a downtown location so there's stuff to do.

If I remember rightly, the St. Paul hotel is the Crowne Plaza. I somehow got the pimp corner room.

yep that's it. it used to be a radisson. right across from the courthouse and former jail.

shoot, if they put you out by the airport, you could hit up the Mall of America......

Knew 1 right off, StL native.

Knew 5 from the sunsphere: huge simpsons fan!!!

skidz · August 29th, 2007, 08:58

I thought the first one was DC, I was wondering though why is the monument bent like that

It looked like that though, last time I went there, but then again I was drunk so that could have had impacted my perception

I've been to the MoA a few times, no thanks! I like the downtown locations where you can usually find more interesting bars and restaurants than can be found in typical suburban U-S-A. Downtown St. Paul is better, IMO.

really...interesting as that is not the normal view around here. There are some nice little bars that have sprung up since the hockey arena was built. If you ever in hte mood for Italian food, hit up Cossetta's on West 7th. It's a block or so west of the arena.

Contrails.....are you from around the area or just overnighting here? There is another place in Eagan, about 10-15 mins from St. Paul, Stephano's. Don't let the location fool you. I would place it above Cossetta's by far. An Italian guy runs the joint and has been there a long time. We had our rehearsal dinner there. Great food indeed.

MusketeerMan · August 30th, 2007, 17:41

So...you guys sometimes get in early enough to attend a ball game???

SWEET!!!

nwa_contrails · August 30th, 2007, 22:00

Nope don't live in MSP, was just visiting there for a summer, but went to Cosetta's at LEAST once a week, (sad I know), when I was there. I lived in Eagan while I was there, never heard of Stephano's...where abouts is it? I need to get back up there and have some of that sweet Cosetta-y goodness!

I was there the other night. I ordered a sandwich, my FA ordered 20 wings....I ended up eating most of them. Good stuff.
