Project: Falling in Love with St. Cloud

I just back from Greece and was surprised that I felt artistically uninspired and restless. After meditating on the problem, the solution hit me. I love living in St. Cloud. It is a great place to live but I realized that I may not be experiencing or appreciating all the amazing, unique and fun things to do around here.

This is where the new project comes into play. The project is titled, "Falling in Love with St. Cloud". My goal is to re-experience St. Cloud. I plan on visiting places and events that I have loved since I moved here 10 years ago as well as exploring new venues. I have started to come up with a list but I am looking for more. I am asking for any places you love to eat, places you love to bike, hike, swim, etc., any artistic events, historical sites, and anything else you can come up with.

This is the list so far:
1. Munsinger gardens
2. Quarry Park
3. Jules Bistro
4. Lake George- music, paddle boats, splash pads
5. Baseball
6. Skating at the Mac arena
7. Art crawl
8. Hula hooping
9. The Red Carpet
10. Monday Night Jazz
11. Paramount
12. Frisbee golf
13. Kayak the Mississippi
14. Library
15. Stearns County History Museum
16. Riverside Park
17. Rock climping
18. Air Max
19. SCSU
20. Walk at St. John's
21. Powder Ridge
22. SummerLand
23. Beaver Islands Trail
24. Lake Wobegon Trail
25. St. Cloud State University's Outdoor Endeavors
26. Molitor's
