Wizards & Wishes

This week the librarian and her sweetheart are traveling to "see the wizard" (as the librarian's sweetheart so aptly put it.) We are squinching up our eyes tight in concentration and sending lots of good wishes in their direction (with fingers and toes still crossed).

It's hard to be so far away when important things are happening. In my frustration at not being able to horn in on the St. Paul parade of well wishing, I thought I'd see if I could find something fun for the librarian and her sweetheart to do when they were in Rochester, MN. Sounds like feeding the geese at Silver Lake is a fun activity. Also, there is a vegan cafe called "The Back Room Deli" that is behind a natural foods co-op (making it sound like a speakeasy). Aside from that, there are museums (converted from mansions) where important doctors lived? It's hard enough to visit doctors, much less pay to take a tour of their fancy homes.

Here's my favorite review of Rochester, MN.

Horrible City

Atmosphere

Safety
Value

This is an awful, awful place to live. There is absolutly nothing here to do. Especially if you're under the age of 21. And even then there isn't much to do either. Though it's pretty safe here, I definetly would not recommend living or visiting here. Stay away, people..stay away.

Rochester kind of sounds like the town where I grew up.

Good luck on your journey librarian & your sweetheart and it's true, we are all stuffed in your pockets.

I refuse to believe Rochester is as bad. Nothing is that bad.

Rochester is A-OK in my book, as long as it has a Mayo wizard for the Librarian's St. Paul Sweetheart.

SQUINCH!!!!
