Good thing I do not have D.C. on my travel itinerary. Chicago, Detroit, Denver, Philadelphia, NYC, etc., be on ALERT!

Though I should not speak too quickly that Minneapolis could be on the list. Lots going on now with NFL and College Football season starting soon, The Twins season is still on, NBA Basketball, the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and State Fair running co-inside of one another, Fall Festivals in and around the Metro, and so much more going into the upcoming Holiday season.

I am certain that Tim Walz will put his foot down and tell TACO Don where he can shove it.
