I took this photo while toodling around MSP the other day (6/30). Thank you again to Laurie for the generous loan of her vehicle. I was on my way to the Walker Art Museum to do some self-induced Art-O-Mancy*, and went down the Lexington Parkway the wrong way. This move put me on the very south side of Minneapolis, so I got to travel all the way north on Nicollet, which was interesting. When I found myself at the Bad Waitress, I was no longer lost.
Many a good meal at the Bad Waitress while at the MCAD WAI program two years ago. It is such a hoot to see all this ’60’s era decor, but the place is very neat and clean. Service is irreverant, though.
Anyway, I snapped this photo of the railroad, a paper company (I think) and the Pearson factory. Turns out it was Pearson’s Candy Company. They make peppermint patties, nut goodies, salted nut rolls. Kinda old fashioned candy, but I’m sure it is good!

* Art-O-Mancy: Devised by Laurie Phillips, it is a game where you ask yourself a question like: What is the next direction my art should take? or What is my next career?
You are blindfolded (usually) and with a guide who helps you keep from running into something. You are in a museum, with a copy of the museum’s program/floor plan open in front of you. As you ponder this question, you put your finger down on the museum plan. The piece of art at the location of your finger has the answers to your question. You go there (take off blindfold first, please) and view the art, seeking clues to your question. Journal, as appropriate.
