Here’s a dumb column from Tampa.
Reverse Tourism
“Explore Minnesota is asking people to leave bustling Chicago and the Rocky Mountains to visit the Land of 10,000 Lakes this summer,” the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal notes.
“The state’s tourism agency has a digital mural in Chicago’s Wrigleyville where Minnesota photos from Instagram are on the scroll.”

From Explore Minnesota’s website:
“In Chicago, a painted mural unit will run from May 11 through June 7, featuring an Instagram photo, headline and #OnlyinMN. The wall is located along the El route, in the Wrigleyville neighborhood, with high visibility among commuters and Cubs game attendees.”

Just an abbreviated column today. Had a mentoring event last night and my parents arrive soon for a weekend visit. Need to get a little more sleep and recharge.
