Pashure peshanyo, takashanyira imwe imba huru, Alexander Ramsey House, parutivi rweSt. Iyo Minnesota Historical Society inoshandisa iyi nhanho, yakavakirwa zvakananga kune wekutanga dunhu gavhuna weMinnesota. Kunyange zvazvo imba yacho isingachengete maawa akazaruka nokuda kwevashanyiwo zvavo, Sosaiti inoronga zviitiko zvinokosha zvinoshamisa panzvimbo inonzi “History Happy Hour.” Semuenzaniso, paVictorian-Era Cocktails mharidzo, unogona kunwa neshamwari dzako paRamsey House iwe uchidzidza nezvemakorokoza muVictorian Era. Muvambi weNorth Star Bartenders Guild anogadzirira mabira akafuridzirwa mazambiringa uye anokurukura zvinonaka uye mabikirwo aive akakurumbira muzana ramakore rechi19. Takapinda hurukuro inofadza zvikuru ye "Happy Hour" pachitima chepasi pevhu, apo mudzidzisi wemiziyamu Dwight Scott akaudza nyaya ye "station agent" Joseph Farr, uyo akashanda mukutungamirira vanhu vakaiswa muuranda kuburikidza naSt. Scott akanga ari muparidzi ane upenyu, achichengeta vaiuya vakarembera kumashoko ake ose. Ndakafarira kunzwa kuti vagari venzvimbo iyi vakakunda sei vabati venhapwa vakaipa vakakwira kuMississippi kuratidza hupfumi hwavo hwavakawana. Imba yeRamsey inopa hurukuro idzi dze "Happy Hour" mwedzi wega wega, manheru anosanganisira matafura anofadza ehors-d'oeuvres, classy French cheeses uye zvakasiyana-siyana zvewaini nemaales. Takashamiswa kuona pinot grigio kubva kuMezzocorona, musha wakanaka pedyo nomusha wedu muItaly Alps. Manheru acho akanga akarongeka zvikuru uye mufaro wakakwana kupinda.

Kwemaawa maviri nehafu takafamba tichikwira nokudzika Rwizi rweMisissippi paMinneapolis Queen, tichitora mhoteredzo yakaisvonaka. Hapana zvivako zvekuparadza rwizi rwemvura, nzira yose inokomborerwa nemafuta nemhuka, zvichida nenzira imwechete yakadzokera mumazuva aMark Twain.

ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- The cultural characteristics of Minnesota nice include a polite friendliness, an aversion to confrontation, a tendency toward understatement, a disinclination to make a fuss or stand out, emotional restraint, and self-deprecation … Similar attributes are also ascribed to Scandinavians, with whom Minnesotans share much cultural heritage.
- During the holidays, you can experience the sights, sounds and tastes of a Victorian Christmas with special holiday tours, see original Ramsey family ornaments and gifts, hear holiday music played on the 1875 Steinway piano, and taste cookies freshly baked in the wood stove.
- When Spirit Airlines announced $30 airfares from Detroit to Minneapolis, I couldn't resist making a visit to The Twin Cities and reliving the Mary Tyler Moore experience.
