Here in Minnesota (as well as in Wisconsin), chock-full of Germans and Scandinavians, the drink of choice is beer -- and lots of it. I believe MN (or was it WI?) was just recognized as being the beer-drinkingest state in the Union.<br /><br />Such a distinction!!<br /><br />PearlPearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261369905176088917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-12807226410284058992012-02-08T07:56:35.338-05:002012-02-08T07:56:35.338-05:00Ha, yes you should write that guide :-) I hardly e...Ha, yes you should write that guide :-) I hardly ever drink but when I do, beer is my choice.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735148155885016692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-28562128971567677782012-02-08T07:47:44.072-05:002012-02-08T07:47:44.072-05:00Sounds interesting.

I know of a liquor store that has "Last Chance Liquor" on the north side and "First Chance Liquor" on the south side. It's about 10 feet north of the MOARK state line.<br /><br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-10826334210720991132012-02-08T04:38:06.934-05:002012-02-08T04:38:06.934-05:00I meant to type whole bookshelf!I meant to type whole bookshelf!Shrinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401403773851253351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-44333453526758640112012-02-08T04:37:14.946-05:002012-02-08T04:37:14.946-05:00Ha!

He is currently organising the Real Ale Beer Festival for our island, and having a blast "researching" the brews to invite.

I remember one of the last old-style 'Geography' articles written by the National Geographic where they catalogued the demise of a prosperous city. Next time I saw anything about it they were trailblazing the 'inner city renewal movement' with glass.
