BWCA Wilderness, serene spot for stargazing

4 days ago | minnesotasnewcountry.com | Laura Bradshaw

When we were kids, it was awesome to camp out at night, not in a tent, just gazing up at the sky and look at the stars. For some reason, it can be completely mesmerizing. Now, as an adult, I cannot imagine sleeping outside all night. Nope! Pains, bad sleep, uncomfortable, etc. BUT the star gazing thing and watching the Northern Lights never gets old. Northern Minnesota's Boundary Waters area has recently been named as a Dark Sky Sanctuary. Recently, as in the last 5 years.

4 days ago | 1037theloon.com | Laura Bradshaw

We all love our pets. They are part of the family. Whether you have a cat, dog, fish or even some reptiles, if they are your pet, you probably love them and they are absolutely a family member. While some other family members may tend to add some stress to your life - let's face it. You love them with all of your heart, but they can really cause some stress. Pets generally do not do that.

A New Tobacco Shop?

5 days ago | 1037theloon.com | Laura Bradshaw

Driving around St. Cloud you notice new businesses and strip malls being built and opened. But, many of these strip malls seem to remain mostly unoccupied, yet they are still being built. I guess that will keep some building companies busy. If a new business opens, it seems like it's usually either a bank, a car wash, or a chicken restaurant.

Sometimes you have situations when you may be flying alone. Usually if something like this happens it's for business, or a family issue, or you may be one of those people who likes to travel by yourself and take in all the adventures of solo travel. It can sometimes be quite liberating. One thing that you don't want to do is pay up to double the price of your ticket simply because you are flying alone. It's almost like a punishment for not traveling with a partner.

1 week ago | 1037theloon.com | Laura Bradshaw

We all love to laugh, don't we? Back in the day, we were able to have a comedy club with Charlie's which is where the Olde Brick House is now. And after that, it was located upstairs in that same building when it was First Street Station. After that, there was another change in ownership and a name change to Rum Runners. The comedy shows moved to a new location. In recent years, the Benton Station in Sauk Rapids has been known to be the comedy spot every week.

One of the things most people in the St. Cloud area love to do in the summertime is get outside; as much as possible. The Clemens/Munsinger Parks, or the flower parks as many refer to them as, are very popular. People love to stop and walk around the trails and just admire the flowers, plants and fountains that are on display. It's very peaceful. What if we add music? This is an event that happens every other Sunday throughout the summer.

1 week ago | minnesotasnewcountry.com | Laura Bradshaw

Pizza is generally good, even if you have some "bad" pizza. Is it really that bad? Now, here is the actual question, what pizza is the best of the "good" pizzas? We are not talking about frozen pizza that you just pick up at the store. Although, there are some really good ones in that catagory too. We are talking about great pizza that you get from an actual pizzeria or a restaurant. We posed this question on our social media page yesterday, and there was a clear winner.
What Travelers Should Know About Upcoming Airline Baggage Fees

1 week ago | 1037theloon.com | Laura Bradshaw

Today is the Day! FREE Baggage is ending on a particular airline that flies out of Minneapolis. The baggage fees have been one of those things that we have all come to expect when flighing somewhere for a vacation, business, or whatever the reason for your flight is. Some of the "budget" airlines will nickel and dime you after you have already paid for your "cheap" ticket. It's gotten so bad that you might as well pay for the better airline and avoid some of those fees.
