WHY I LIVE HERE

Lyndale-Farmstead Park - Minneapolis, MN

There's an ice rink at this park that has been poured over the area where the softball diamond usually is in the summer. It's free to use by anyone. There's a little warming room in the park building with a huge pile of ice skates for kids or parents to use for free if you don't have your own skates. The neighborhood association is giving away free cookies and hot chocolate to everyone. And later tonight there's going to be ice skating and a neighborhood potluck.

I've never been happier in my life to pay taxes.
