I've been to the Twin Cities a gazillion times, but unfortunately not as often as I'd like to. :( I was in Minneapolis earlier this year in March, but only when I had a layover to and from NYC. This was my first time ACTUALLY visiting Minneapolis this year. The last time I spent time in Minneapolis before that was in 2004, so I was overdue for a visit. :lol: (I have family there, including my siblings) I left for the Twin Cities on Monday and just got back tonight.

Anyway, while I was in the Twin Cities, I remembered to go scouting for the Mary Tyler Moore statue that is located in downtown Minneapolis. We found it with no problems -- I spotted her hat-clad hand right away. :D I was going to get pictures in the daytime, but nighttime was the only time I got to be in that part of Minneapolis.

I don't know how many people here have seen the MTM statue in person, so I figured I would post here, since it has to do with MTM and all. :D The statue is smaller than I pictured it, but it is pretty tall, with Mary Tyler Moore's statue standing on a pedstal and all. :lol: 'Twas pretty cool. If any of you are in Minneapolis, you should go look for it. It's really easy to locate- right on the corner of 7th and Nicolett, right in front of a gigantic Marshall Fields department store.

Glad you were able to find it! That's a great picture. :D I wish I could see it in person one day.

I saw this pic on Chit Chat already, but I just have to say once again, Wow! hehe. Standing next to that statue would be the next best thing to meeting Mary, which of course I'd love to do! lol Thanks for posting your pic.
