Hello again,
Sorry about the holiday hiatus, but I’m back now and so is the weird list. Today’s post is all about bright ideas: a building that may be the world’s largest mood ring (thanks for the suggestion DK), and a light fixture so big it affects the temperature around it.

Hi Everyone,
I’m glad so many of you are enjoying the ongoing Twin Cities Weird List posts. I thought it would be helpful to create a master list of all of the weird things I have written about, complete with links to their respective posts. As I add new oddities [...]
The weirdness continues with today’s post featuring a bridge whose builders ignored the fact that “the shortest distance between two points is a straight line”, and a surprise celebrity cameo.

Anyway, today is a day of costumes, candy, and carousing across the country. But I decided that the fun of dressing up on Halloween shouldn’t be limited to [...]
The Winter Sports Season is upon us!
What better way is there to spend a cold winter’s day than inside a warm arena cheering for one of the many exciting football, basketball or hockey teams in Minneapolis and St. Paul! Today’s post was created to give you an easy way to find out about the many [...]
