Fantastic & informative video!! Never been to Minnesota and have a job opportunity in Bloomington. Moving from the east coast to this neck of the woods, I had a ton of questions but this video answered them all! :) Great job in producing this video and love all the design elements, time width and topics!
Wow, you bring back memories! I was born on 90th and Upton. My dad was a bricklayer and we lived on 8 acres. Next door to us was a huge alfalfa field owned by a Mr. Adelman. We used to hit our baseballs (not intentionally) into that field and had to be careful as there was an electric fence around that huge field. My dad coached the Bloomington Redbirds, and we alwasy had access to balls and bats... ha. A Thomas Haeg was in my class at Bloomington High School in the 60s. I knew of him . I may have played hockey at Haeg Park ??? When I was 12, we moved to a new home on Russell Ave that backed up to Nine Mile Creek. Throughout High School, I worked at Metropolitan Stadium. Mall of The Americas is just an incredible place! Thanks for your video.
Another memory as you seem to be into hockey. In the 50s, Arnie Johnson decided to start hockey in the BAA. I showed up for the first meeting and it was on Penn Lake. I think that it was lower Penn Lake. It was really cold and my mom made me wear a Parka Hood.... ha.. I don't remember all the kids, but Milt Sundae was there. (he was a few yrs older) We loaded up the coaches cars and headed out to Hopkins for a game. I couldn't go because I was too young. One of the older guys hid me on the floor under a blanket. The coach caught me... damn!
Translation - the east side sucks and is cheap. The west side sucks less and is slightly less affordable. If you want your kids to excel in sports, Bloomington is not the place for you

Thanks for all the memories Gary!! I played hockey for Richfield growing up. Lots of games against Kennedy and Jefferson over the years.
I'm the first view! Yay!🎉😁

Can you do a video on st cloud
This video feels so melancholy
Eh, I guess it was a melancholy type of day when I recorded it
@@livinginthetwincities no way, thank you for replying. stupid question what are your thoughts on bloomings north or south meadow
I haven't been in either of them. Location is convenient to getting anywhere quickly, but I don't know anything about the buildings themselves.
Great video
I just moved here!
Sweet! Welcome to Bloomington. Drop us a note if you have any questions on things to do, places to eat, etc :)
