Moment of Gratitude
In Minnesota, going 'Up North' often means more than just a pointed direction on the map; it's a ritual and rite of passage in living here. But what if we told you that narrative is changing? What if we told you that staying (by choice, not necessity) is the new Summer trend?
We have the lakes, fests, food trucks, and wide open city spaces that offer a 'getaway' feeling without the need to 'get gone' at all. Going North will always be a storied Minnesota past time, but sticking around the Twin Cities might just surprise you.
We're taking a Moment of Gratitude for all the things ~staying~ has to offer us:
- Getting a glimpse at the U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials (hey Simone!)
- Farmers markets galore
- Fireworks displays in various places
- Baseball games in both Minneapolis and St. Paul
- Catching your hometown Commissioner's Cup champions at the Target Center
- Festivals and street fairs around every corner, in just about every neighborhood
- Twin Cities Pride
- Lakes and boats and barbecues within walking (or biking) distance from your own home
Wherever the week takes you, be kind, be safe, stay hydrated, and leave the pyrotechnics to the professionals.
