         The life and times of Mark and Paula Persons
 
Friday, December 14, 2012:

The weather was relatively mild while Mark and Paula were in downtown Minneapolis at 7th and Nicollet.

They came across a bronze statue of Mary Tyler Moore, a character they liked from the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

This highly rated sitcom was on CBS television from 1970 to 1977. 

 
Then it was off to see a huge Christmas tree in the Crystal Court of the IDS center.

An impressive site.   

 
Nearby Gaviidae Common was decorated for Christmas.
 
The Gaviidae name is reportedly a derivative of the Minnesota state bird name, Gavia immer, known as the loon to most. 
 
Dinner that night was at Murray's Restaurant beneath the prominent Minneapolis skyline. 

This dining place has been a part of the Minneapolis downtown since 1946.
Quote of the day:  Wonderful dining at Murrays.   Mark    < Back to previous story Ahead to next story >
