    Coming in from Atlanta and staying by the venue.  Are there any cool/funky neighborhoods to check out that are walkable with bars to bounce in and out of?  I don't mind taking an Uber somewhere that might have some record stores, funky stores, bars, etc.  Anything like that around?
    Yep, stuff like that can be found in a neighboring area that the locals refer to as: 'Minneapolis'
    Anywhere in particular in Minneapolis that you would suggest?  I have no problem taking a trip over there, but I'm just not familiar with area, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I'm going to the go to the Twins game tomorrow night and possible Wednesday afternoon.
    North loop is walking distance from Target Field. Black Sheep is the best pizza in town. Also the Loon Cafe in the warehouse district is awesome(even closer to the stadium)The pecos red river chili is great. 
    That's good to know. Thanks for the tip.

    I’ve been waiting for a noon twins game so Wednesday may just be perfect.

    Some great breweries, bars and eateries in the north loop area. A manageable walk from Target field but if it’s a hot day just get a Lyft.

    For the day off in between shows my wife and I were interested in doing some walking around St Paul and Minneapolis parks to see the river and some views. Any suggestions on the best places to go to?

    Como Park. But that may be crazy given its proximity to the State Fair.
    Hidden Falls or Minnehaha Falls are great. 
    The Grand Rounds in Minneapolis is also probably a crown jewel for what you are looking for. Walk around some lakes and maybe dip into a bar or restaurant. 

    Have fun!

    PS - You could always take a slight drive north (20 minutes) to White Bear Lake and enjoy that community. Go Bears.

    Stillwater is wonderful and has the five mile old bridge new bridge trail. I believe you can rent bikes.

    Ground round walking or biking is great. Near downtown in Saint Paul it’s accessed via Shepard Rd along the River. Rent a Lime bike and ride or walk. If you want to start at a more scenic point maybe the Ford Parkway area on the Hidden Falls drive part of the trail.

    The Stone Arch Bridge walk and area in Minneapolis is nice and plenty of eateries on either side of the bridge and nice views. Highly recommend going into the Guthrie and taking in the view from their observation deck. It should still be free. 

    Not by the River but the Walker sculpture garden is free, the Minneapolis Institute of Art is free and has some nice shady courtyard area. “Eat Street” on Nicollet is near the MIA with plenty of places to grab a bite.

    Make sure you sit on the sunny side of the stadium!

    Como Zoo (in Como Park) is quite nice, and free!

    Make sure to check out their arboretum!

    Great idea. The Herman Electric Bike Rental place is in the same building as the Green Bridge Coffee shop which is solid. Stillwater has some great restaurants and bars and a good place to sit along the river.

    Anyone driving or using ride shares be advised downtown Saint Paul construction is a bit messy and can greatly affect routes.

    I probably commented on this thread in 2011 but I'm too lazy to look right now. Hi folks!! See you at the show!

    YieldInHiding, how was the show last night?

    Okay I searched and saw this comment. I think this is from the Philly shows. Both were great, but 10-22 was a top 10 show for me.

    Glad you enjoyed it! I love Target Field...such a great experience each time. Was hoping PJ would play there sometime. Guess we'll have to wait a bit longer for that.

    Sometimes I go way back to really old threads and look up some of the posters and check when they were last active and many of them haven't been active in a long time and I wonder what happened to those people.

    I'm here. :)
