Re: MSP Airport

Tweet yesterday from Kyle Potter (Thrifty Traveler):

@mspairport Executive Director Brian Ryks says
@Delta CEO Ed Bastian recently assured regional leaders that final news on the MSP-Shanghai nonstop is coming soon.
“They didn’t give us a date but said it would be in the not-too-distant future”

I actually agree with most of this list from my travel experience, especially the top 10. TX, SC, and TN all seemed incredibly friendly from my experience.

A reminder on the project:

The webcam at the moment is definitely not this area, but image is probably a place holder for now?

Re: Wabasha Center (Former Macy's) - Downtown St. Paul
