Roses are red, violets are — well they’re violet — but you need not be blue, or Heaven help us violent, if you still need some V-Day nachos, calamari tacos or brick-oven pizza, since nothing says love like Pisces and pie. As this is not the land of the ‘aints and ‘ions, as the Super Bowl is past and passe, even if a tall Detroit flag remains on his pole. Can still get that pizza though, if not Chicago style, as THOSE Bears are on the other end of the Black and Blue.

Zero is the worst zonk of puns, but here we go, as this $1.00 or free — but not frozen as in fixed-in-place — festivity figure is everywhere. Opening and bar-closing bartimes, for holidays included, end in double zeros, regarding the oh-so-cold poured from your 99-percent-reliability tap-hose. So now, zero in on some really bad wordplay zingers … And 99, one short, can be fine too, or at least play into the joke … Which continues on the zero tolerance theme, such as in use word-wise of the term of the day, Super Bowl.

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.

Locust Street well represents authentic historic Hudson, and the Hudson Flower Shop goes back enough decades to fit that decorated

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.
