The Land of Ten Thousand Lakes
Here are some of my favorite tourist attractions:

The Mall of America
In 1982 Both the Twins and the Vikings left Met stadium in Bloomington, MN. in order to go to
Minneapolis. When both teams had left, the city of Bloomington was left with 78 acres of land in an excellent location. After
several years of planning, the Ghermezian brothers signed an agreement with Bloomington Port Authority to begin the design
and developement of the Nation's largest retail and entertainment center. Then, In August of 1992, the Mall of America opened
its doors with 330 new stores including: Bloomingdale's, Sear's, Macy's and Nordstrom's. It also was the beginning of
jobs for over 10,000 employees.
The Mall of America is definitely the greatest shopping destination in the country. Today you
can watch a movie, ride a rollercoaster, walk alongside sharks, or even meet a celebrity. This is definitely one place that
should be on your vacation list!
