Pink Hobo is a modern geek gallery in Northeast. Everything from children's books to computational art can be found here at any given time. They throw some great parties with all their arty friends too, so check out their opening receptions.
The Hobo keeps regular hours Monday through Friday from about 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. but you've gotta knock on the door because they keep it locked.
Have you heard about the Lake Creature ("Nessie") on Lake Harriet? "Once upon a time, in a far away land, a young Lake Creature left her parents' nest and went searching for a home of her own. "Where will I live?" thought the Lake Creature as she began her adventure. "It must be someplace very special. It should be friendly and beautiful. It should have lush green landscapes, fragrant flower beds and scenic byways. And most of all, of course, it must have lakes – lots and lots and lots of lakes!"
