Health Worries At Target Center: Fans Should Think Twice About Arena Snacks

1 week ago | 1037theloon.com | Laura Bradshaw

This isn't something that any of us want to hear when we are supporting the Timberwolves in their playoff run. When you go to a stadium for a sporting event, or a concert, or some other type of event, you know that the food and drinks are going to be some crazy exorbitant price. It just comes with the territory. There is something at a stadium/arena that you DON'T expect, and that is for them to have any sort of health department violation. That is exactly what is happening at the Target Center.
Another Blockbuster, Another Crazy Popcorn Bucket - Needs a Key

1 week ago | 1037theloon.com | Laura Bradshaw

There seems to be a trend now when a potentially huge blockbuster movie comes out. They get some added fun when you order your snacks at the theatre before heading in to watch the movie. Remember the move Dune when they had that popcorn bucket that looked like a... well, there is no other way to put this, a butthole. It was supposed to look like one of the worms in the movie, but seriously just turned out looking like a butthole.
[WATCH] Trickery? Are Starbucks Cups REALLY the Same Size?

1 week ago | 1037theloon.com | Laura Bradshaw

What is this trickery? Someone sent me this video, and quite honestly, I am still trying to figure out if it is real or not. My first thought is that this is a fake video. How can it be? You would think that if this were actually true, then someone would have noticed this a long time ago. The size of the cups is noted right on their menu. The "Tall" or small in Starbucks terms is 12 ounces. The "Grande" or medium in Starbucks terms is 16 ounces. And yes, I know that Grande means large.
Is A Costco Membership Worth It? Explore The Benefits Today

1 week ago | 1037theloon.com | Laura Bradshaw

Believe it or not, there are still people who do not have either a Costco or a Sam's Club membership. We have had either Sam's Club or Costco for probably around 20 years or so. I have heard people who do not have either of those memberships say that they don't think they would ever use it. Plus, who has room to put everything in bulk in their home?
Top 5 Best Lakes in Minnesota for Saturday's Fishing Opener

1 week ago | 1037theloon.com | Laura Bradshaw

This Saturday is the official fishing opener in Minnesota. Why the fishing opener always happens on Mother's Day is beyond me. But, if I do think about it, a lot of moms might want to spend "their day" fishing. It's relaxing, you are out in a boat, and just enjoying the outdoors. Especially this year. This weekend is supposed to be in the 80s and sunny. I'm sure that most people, if you like to fish a lot, have a little "honey hole" that they swear by and catch the best and most fish.

They are kicking off their "The Bad Habit Great MN DRINK Together" event. Get it?
Understanding The MN Supreme Court's Indecent Exposure Rule

1 week ago | 1037theloon.com | Laura Bradshaw

Well, this is new. When I first read the headline regarding the Minnesota Supreme Court saying that a woman's breasts are not "inherently sexual" and that it cannot be considered indecent exposure if you can just simply see a woman's breasts in public. I immediately thought it was a story about a woman breast feeding her child. That would totally make sense, right? That was not what the story was about.
Fun For All Ages

Signs of summer in Minnesota with the weather suddenly turning summerlike, you might be thinking more about the area splash pads and wading pools announcing opening dates, garage sales, music festival dates and line-ups are being announced, and Valleyfair announces their opening date for the season, which happens to be this Sunday - also Mother's Day and the fishing opener. Always on the same weekend. Well, not Valleyfair, but the other two.

Are we still calling this Spring? The weather totally feels like Summer out there, and I am not complaining.
