ROCKIN' DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES YOU MUST VISIT

I want to always recommend places to go in Downtown Minneapolis. Two of my favorite businesses on Nicollet Mall that I visit all the time are James & Mary Laurie Book Sellers and Jeromeo's. I can not recommend these businesses enough times - you will not be disappointed in the new friends you make by patronizing these places.



Go in and meet Jim. He's the nicest guy you'll ever run into. From the street, this place is deceiving. You would never guess that the place holds over 200,000 rare and used books ! They also carry posters and 30,000 vinyl records.

I regularly frequent the store and really enjoy talking to Jim. When you go there, don't forget to say hi to Jim and Mary's dog Teddy !







Speaking of Dogs, next door to Jim's book store is Jeromeo's http://jeromeo.com/ where a great looking siberian husky hangs out and acts as store mascot! As for the store, you can find any kind of asian antiques, art, fine jewelry made in-house, and one-of-a-kind women's fashions. My girlfriend loves checking out the clothes in the back of the store. There's a second location at the Gaviidae Commons Skyway Level to !

Those who know me know I love dogs. I'd rather check out a store with a dog than without one!
