You know what is really weird abotu that are though. They have all those stores but no real "chain" places to eat. I drove all through that area looking for a Ruby Tuesdays, TGI Fridays, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, something I recognized and unless I just missed the street they are on (I drove down University Ave and most of the side streets off it) they just werent there. I was shocked usually around a set of those stores you have the traditional chains.
Ruby Tuesdays, TGIF, Olive Gardens and the like are found more so in the suburbs than in Minneapolis proper. Did you drive down Hennepin at all? 533 Hennepin has an Olive Gardens.
