The Midwest Page

Yes, I know this page favors Minnesota. Here are some great Minnesota links:

The Mall of America. A glorious testament to tackiness and consumerism, the twin hallmarks of America! (Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against tackiness.)
Minneapolis. A site produced by the Greater Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce.
Tower, MN. I spend a lot of time in the summers in Tower on Lake Vermilion. Tower holds the state record for cold temperature (-60 F). Tower is rather typical of small towns in Northern Minnesota.
The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices. I've never actually been here, but it looks cool.
Mount Olivet Lutheran Church. This is my church, which has the largest Lutheran congregation in the country. It has the stuff of Lake Wobegon, complete with an annual Lutefisk Dinner! For non-Scandinavians, lutefisk is cod soaked in lye. (Note: I have never eaten lutefisk, nor will I ever).
The Minneapolis Public Schools . They get a bad rap, but you can get a fine education at any public school in Minneapolis.
Southwest High School. My alma mater. My sister Bliss is now a junior there. Go Lakers!
Famous Minnesotans. There are a lot of them, you'd be surprised!

The Midwest (outside of Minnesota)

Wall Drug. No trip to the Midwest would be complete without coming here. This is quite possibly the most worthwhile destination in South Dakota.
The Wisconsin Dells.
The Corn Palace. Fun in Mitchell, SD.
Branson, MO Missouri's vacation hot-spot.
Chatty Belle, the world's largest talking cow, resides in Wisconsin.
The Amana Colonies. Give Iowa a try.
Maria's Iowa Page. If Iowa really piques your interest (?!), then check out my friend Maria's page.

Country Crafts. The ultimate in Midwestern tackiness. I'm not sure that country crafts are unique to the Midwest, but such craft stores are very common in Midwestern non-urban areas.
Polka!! Yes, polka music. It's great fun. This page is about a polka trip to Minnesota.
Lutefisk!
