Osseo, WI
(the sign reads)
Osseo, Wisconsin: population of 1,669.
The grocery store is connected to the gas station, there is one craftstore, a MacDonalds and Hardees, about 3 tiny bars and one giant XXX "marketplace".
All of this, and they also have a visitor information kiosk...i wonder what these guys are paid to do, it takes about 60 seconds to figure out what to do in this town!
The Mall of America was highly overated. yes, it is phenomenally huge and at least twice as big as West Edmonton Mall, but what's stupid about it is that it has the same amount of stores as a regular mall. Why, you ask? After all a larger mall should mean more stores...well MOA certainly has more stores but of the SAME EXACT STORE. I counted like 3 or 4 of the same store in the same building but on different levels. Of course, this gets extremely frustrating after about 30 minutes because you get confused about whether or not you've seen that same store or not. Wow...it was frustrating, after a couple of hours, I walked out of the MOA to try to find food elsewhere. you could not buy anything to eat for less than about $6 USD. Junk food is never worth that much money. hmm...maybe i should get used to those kinds of prices if I'm moving into the Greater New York area. Although when i was in San Francisco, food wasn't cheap but it was really really good quality food. and I don't mind that at all.
MOA from the outside
The amusement park in the center of the mall, surrounded by 4 gigantic shopping areas on each side - basically 4 average sized malls adjoined to a theme park.
mmm...White Castle
I really can't tell what's in their burgers...its like some kind of mystery meat. but their slogan and commitment is to satisfy "the crave". I dunno after a couple of those puppies, I was digging them. I wouldn't expect this to be health food by any means, but for 49cents per burger, it works!
off to marcellus, michigan tomorrow where I will be driving thru Chicago, IL. I will be meeting my senior pastor for the first time and hanging out with his parents, and grandparents of Christopher.
