Indulging in Minnesota: Retail Therapy, Purple Rain, and an Evening Reservation

Posted on 13 April 20245 August 2024 by Bryan Lawrence

When you’re at a Frozen Four, Fridays are your free skate days, sandwiched between the Semi-Finals and the Championship. You have a day and a half to wander the city, exploring whatever it has to offer.

Our day included the Mall of America, a simplified but enjoyable tour of Prince’s Paisley Park, and concluding with dinner and gambling at Mystic Lake Casino. (Photos)

Memphis Mojo: Sun Studio Shine and Rock ‘n’ Roll Roots

Posted on 18 May 202315 July 2024 by Bryan Lawrence

I was looking forward to the Mojo Tour as the tour guide was also a local musician. In addition to touring the city sites, he played many of the classic hits along the way. It was fun complete with sing-alongs. Certainly a unique twist on the usual tour.

Biscuits & Beats: A Taste of Memphis Magic

Posted on 18 May 202315 July 2024 by Bryan Lawrence

Started the day with a hearty breakfast at Bryant’s Breakfast on Summer Avenue, known as the “Best Biscuits in Memphis”. I went with The Sampler, a heaping plate of comfort food.
