I still can't figure out Minneapolis. Last night's showing of JUNO at the Uptown Theater was packed. The ten o'clock show started thirty minutes late because people kept streaming in. Of course, there was only one cashier, which created a bit of a bottleneck. A busy movie theater on an otherwise quiet night is a peculiar feature of Minneapolis. It's dark out, cold, most businesses are closed up, the streets and sidewalks are empty. It seems like there is nothing going on anywhere. But then you walk into some random restaurant, movie house, or music club, to discover that it's hoppin'. The energy level is up. You could be in New York. Minneapolis is a generally barren city full of small, disparate, pockets of activity.
