Loring Kitchen and Bar

Yesterday Dale and I went to brunch at the Loring Kitchen and Bar which looks out over Loring Park. We both got mimosas and shared a caramel roll. I got the classic eggs Benedict and Dale got an omelet. Both of our items came with cheesy hashbrowns. I really like the atmosphere there and it always seems to be hoppin'. 

Calhoun Square

Uptown

Dale and I went to Uptown this afternoon to get him some clothes for our upcoming trip. It's looking quite the same as it always has.

Spruce Street

Dale and I went to brunch this morning at the Loring Kitchen and Bar which is on Loring Park. We got there a little early so we took a walk around the neighborhood. The photo of this new high rise was taken at 14th and Spruce. There is so much new development in the area.

The Mary Tyler Moore Statue

Yes, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is my all-time favorite television sit-com. I remember Mom pointing out scenes of Minneapolis from the opening credits of the show as it played on our portable Panasonic television while she was cutting my hair in the kitchen on a summer night way back in 1970 or 1971. I was young enough to think that Mary actually lived here.
