You don’t need flowery language to flaunt this store, but it follows. The Hudson Flower Shop has been around since 1946, cutting flowers all the time. And they are the leaders in a nine-store list called Love On Locust Street, a promo going all through Valentine’s Day, so don’t irk Shelli Erck and her varied ilk by not showing up, as all their inventories are extensive.

There is a drink for everyone and every temperature in Sippin’ With The Hotties, in the hot and hopping town this weekend, that also is aglow with three scheduled balloon launches and other such activities, as the 35th annual Hudson Hot Air Affair with its theme Rockin’ With The Coldies strums it up all this weekend, Feb. 2-4. —– For numerous New and improved Notations on this, The Affair that’s Hot, see updates in the Notes From The Beat department alongside this post.

We sports fans have finally, officially lost another of our own for 2024. What could have driven him to depart the Gopher State? Factors are at work here with many Twin Cities lumenaries that involve arena and sports bar proximity and how it plays out in local geography and layout, hyper-drive fan support that approaches psychic-ness, and someone like that who could move more than pucks — with just her mind power, as stated at this post’s end!

“I want candy!” Add Chocolate. And we’d be nuts to forget about Nuts. All from Knoke’s, for 23 years running now, a stone’s throw or two from the St. Croix. Just ask Martha Stewart about what’s kept her coming back. As they do more than trifle with their truffles and much more; the result is a selection from Knoke’s Chocolates and Nuts that takes hundreds of bins to fill to their spacious store, beckoning to you.

Consider this post Green Millipedia, as they have an expansive, special new menu for staying fit, to keep your new year’s yearnings in check, with great green goings-on and more. Complete with seasoning with substance, such as sausages, saucy but light, and garlic garnishing galore at Green Mill — but no gluten. (Low-priced prize pizza kept, and you can buy beer for often as little as three bucks.)

Here’s a (precise and detailed) local breakdown of pro-football-special big beer in pitchers (Green Mill indeed has game and wins the day) vs. buckets of bottles, and how to get the best bang for your buck. —– All this might save you enough so you can tip really well! And on and off, I’ve been schooled on such (self-serving?) wisdom by fave servers.

Bungalow Idol re-introduces a karaoke contest that’s intruiging, encompassing ingenuity and even a bit of edge in its song selection. So on this and coming Fridays you could, conceivably, warm up your winter voice with classics of everything from Edgar Winter to alternative to Hazy Shade of Winter, as those are among the more varied than usual styles you’ll likely be up against. So be different and rock like an alto while alt? —– (And see more comments that are just cold, added to this post’s end just before the sun sets and brings more frost.)

Got a winter coat? Check. Got it in the car? Check, as it might be in the ditch. Got beer? Check, it might be frozen. So you might be hosed, but tap into the lines in the rest of this post if you were one of the few brave ones venturing out to the bars and taverns in the last 72 hours, or to see what you missed … (And see added content on Green Bay doing in Dallas, frozen tundra aside.)
