St. Paul, MN Photos

Nostatlgic dining

I didn’t know they could still make resturants in black and white.  This is Johny Rockets at the Mall of America.  I have never eaten there so I don’t know if the food is black and white or not.

Buried treasure

Over Christmas weekend I decided to clean out a closet that has never been cleaned out.  it is used for Christmas decorations and only opened a couple of times a year. It is small, and has no light.  At about six feet long and three feet wide with a steeply pitched ceiling it isn’t much of a closet.  After I got all of the decorations out I found a couple of boxes buried in the back. They were labeled “old stuff”.  I found family photos that I have not seen for twenty years, including this one of my children.  It was in good shape as it has not seen the light of day for a couple of decades.

What a great way to start the New Year!   Happy 2010 to all and thanks for stopping by and for your wonderful comments.  You make me smile and keep me posting.  I have three other blogs and write a weekly column for Inman news.  I started this blog on January 5, 2008 and can’t believe that I have been able to post every day.  I think I will make it a goal to post 365 photos in 2010.

They Wait

They wait for someone to drop popcorn. They knew I had a box of it and so they watched, and waited.

Taken in Duluth Harbor on lake Superior.  I get why it is called a great lake.

Porkys

A fun place to take photos. I took this one last year.  Porkys is on University avenue in St. Paul. It isn’t one of those new chains, it has been around since 1953.   I recommend the onion rings and bring a camera.  It is very busy on Saturday nights but for those who like classic cars it is the place to be.
