Summer's Sweet Revenge...Or...Monte Cristos, Dragons, and "Bullets" On A Stick!
Getting off the train at the Minnesota State Fair Saturday morning. OPTIMO Montecristi. The Royal American Shows Pullman is actually part of a collection of rolling stock at the State Fairgrounds.
The record crowds have yet to descend upon the Fair this early in the day.
The finest sandwich served at the Fair...naturally.
Saying farewell to Summer and attending the closing performance of "Sweet Revenge" on the University Of Minnesota's Centennial Showboat Saturday evening. Our sixth! show this Summer, having caught their opening night at the beginning of Summer way back in June.
Record breaking temperatures and a heat index in the 110sF could not keep us away from the annual Wheels Of Italy gathering Sunday morning. OPTIMO Montecristi.
The heat apparently had a significant impact upon car owners and enthusiasts alike, as attendance was the lowest we have seen since the inaugural show a decade ago. A pictorial from the 2011 Show in FEDORAS AFIELD for those gear heads among us.
We love what our car(Alfa Romeo) nut friends Dan and Brian have built over the past ten years with a lot of hard work and grass-roots enthusiast support.
Wrestling with a dragon. An incredible zinc dragon/gargoyle rain spout, one of a pair, salvaged from a late 19th century library in Wisconsin by our friend Jim.
A parting shot from "Kid Bullets" DeGidio's place in St. Paul, a favorite gangster hangout back in the 1930s and a favorite hangout for us in the 2010s.
