Some nights you walk through beautifully lit Rice Park before a hockey game when there’s something at the Ordway and maybe a Roller Girlz gig and it feels like an incredibly happenin’ town. Hopefully before I leave this world St. Paul will get to a place where it doesn’t need copycat “art” gimickry to lure folks downtown.

But until then, bring on the dino-bores!

We could carry signs that say "Keep the mythical dyno-creatures out of our city!" I think we should stage a massive satirical anti-evolution rally.

Yeah, a dinosaur wearing pants and a gun holster! Woo!<br /> <br /> WTF!<br /> <br /> So can we talk about the awesome buffalo statues scattered around Fargo?
