No firecrackers

But we did get in a bicycle ride.  Even though it most definitely is Sunday, we discovered that places that we expect to be overwhelmed with our fellow citizens on weekends were not really that crowded.

We briefly considered continuing on to see if perhaps Norah could come out to play.  It would have been another mile and a half or so and we were already pretty much at the limit of GRider's range.  So instead we headed home along a route that took us past this lady's residence.

I'm not sure they get a lot of bicycles in that lobby but they definitely get lots and lots of those four wheeled vehicles like the one Norah's great grandma is palping.

We had to cut through the Fairgrounds on the way home to avoid some uphill unpleasantness.  From half a Fairground away the GRider pronounced that the construction project that I had ruled out as the new chocolate chip cookie stand was actually the REAL new Sweet Martha's.  She based this on the gable at the end of the building being yellow, the main color used on the two other locations.

I didn't think so but after dropping her off (18 miles this time) I headed back over there for a more complete investigation.

That thing is a new set of bathrooms.

There are some unexplained doors on the other side of the building but this end and the south side of the building and the characteristic brick work pattern clearly identify this as rest rooms.

This new one is near the Snelling Avenue entrance, near the Home Improvements building and the AFL-CIO building.
