    Weird. Of all cities, I wouldn't think you'd want to make Minneapolis pedestrian-friendly. They want me to get out of my car when it's 20 below?

    This has been in process for a while. As long as the Wendy's in Rosemount or the Freddy's in Lakeville aren't affected, it doesn't affect me. :)

    I'm more interested in the beach bars in St. Petersburg.

    I did not know you lived there. How do you take the winters?

    I was in Houston 33 years, Twin Cities 27 years and now in St. Petersburg (although we still have a lake house and rental in Minnesota) We got used to the winters. We'd end up in shorts and a sweatshirt when it was in the 20s. I ran a half marathon when it was 15 degrees. Kind of the opposite of Houston or Florida. generally go from you heated house to your heated car to your heated destination.

    :confused: You have my respect. You are WAY tougher than me. I would be like the meme below.

    You have a point here. We never really ever experience the cold down here since we go out of our way to stay warm.

    I did wimp out on a New Year's Day 10k a few years ago. The predicted temperature was at least 5 below. I went out to practice in similar temps the weekend before. I decided they could keep my registration fee.

    You ever run into this guy when you were experiencing the winters of Minnesota?

    This seems odd to me. Is this constitutional? Can cities just outright ban drive thrus? I understand there are building codes for safety, but how are drive thrus any more dangerous than a drive way?

    Hypocrisy is substantially more real. Do you recall the exact moment you sold out your alleged belief system for Trumpanzee status?

    :D

    I don't doubt it. Our oldest went to UW, not terribly far away, and she loved it. Loved the seasons, the snow, the cold winters, the whole thing. She didn't stay, though, thank god. Not a cheap flight from Austin, and kind of far to drive.

    You are eat up with TDS. You really should seek some help. I find it funny how you speak of hypocrisy when you would cry the loudest if I were ever to mix Obama's name with the word chimpanzee to describe his supporters.

    You find it funny because you're dumb and false equivalency is a favorite tool of dopey Trump fans. You should seek forgiveness for enabling a racist liar who pushed birtherism for years.

    I am not really sure why I am wasting time with a troll like you but it is funny I missed you calling out Hillary for actually starting "birtherism".
