Wow partyup77, that itinerary is impressive! You certainly have done your research. I hope you enjoy your time here! I smiled to see the Chan lunds/byerlys supermarket on your list. I saw Prince there years ago, doing some shopping. I have been there countless times since, and I still think of him every time I am there. | |

Thanks! I've been waiting to visit MPLS for about 30 years now so I'm trying to get in as much as possible when I go this spring! It is so cool that you saw him shopping there. I absolutely cannot wait for this trip!

Check out this map of sites: "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

Wow! Thank you for posting this awesome map. I am going to add the IDS Center and (maybe) Cheapo Records to my itinerary! |
