Yesterday was a day for mostly hanging out around the coach and playing with the dogs. After they had their supper I headed over to the Casino next door to find something to eat and play a little Blackjack. The food court looked better than the big restaurants or the buffet. Then spent a couple of hours trying my luck at the Blackjack table. As is normal, all the luck was on the dealers side.
Today I decided to head over to St. Paul for a late lunch at a famous diner. Mickey's Diner has been in business since 1939 and is now operated by the third generation of the family. Joanne and I had visited there a few years ago after we had seen the movie "A Prairie Home Companion". The cast of the PBS radio show that the movie was based on has been known to gather at Mickey's late at night after the broadcast. Mickey's has also been featured in several other movies and many television shows.
The radio show is broadcast from the Fitzgerald Theater which is located just a couple of blocks from Mickey's.
