Minneapolis/St Paul #1 Tourist Sight?

It seems to be the toilet stall at the airport where Sen Craig had a wide stance.

Has anyone stopped by it?

How can it be #1 if only men can step inside to view it? If it's open to all, then yeah....I'll take a seat!

Not much else to see or do in Minneapolis so I can believe it.

f&b,
When was the last time you went to the Twin Cities?

It has a great deal to see and do. I love places like the Walker Art Center and Sculpture Garden. Biking around Lake Harriet is a great way to spend a few hours. St. Paul's Cathedral is a marvelous place to spend some time. And then there is Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis. If you like jazz, The Dakota Club is a must.

f&b, there is a lot to do in Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Minneapolis-St Paul has one of the highest concentrations in the US of modern/contemporary architecture, at least two very fine museums in addition to the Walker Art Center (by Herzog and deMeuron), the internationally known Tyrone Guthrie Theatre, and a symphony orchestra that is breaking new ground internationally under conductor Osmo Vanska. A lot of this was still under construction when our son lived there a couple of years ago, so we are actually traveling there as tourists next year even though there are no longer family ties. I never thought I would say this, but MSP is a major cultural mecca.

Notice I haven't said anything yet about shopping etc.

Wow, hotdog, that may be one of the silliest things you've posted here! The Twin Cities are a cultural gem, and rich in natural beauty, too. Too bad your mind is in the toilet stall, I guess.

In any case i bet those who really do have a wide stance will be careful in that stall.

word has that the tp tissue has been left on the floor as it was - the Smithsonian has expressed interest in the stall apparently.
