Hi Scott, Your lists of WiFi spots in the Twin Cities are generally excellent, but are a bit over-optimistic. * at least one Old Chicago does NOT have WiFi. The one in Apple Valley does not. Your list says "all" * Some of the listed SurfThing sites no longer have any WiFi at all (eg, only Dunn Bros in Mall of America: the 3 on 3rd floor are all gone for assorted reasons). * Pickled Parrot in AV does NOT have WiFi, but the one in Eden Prairie does... ie, another "not all" The page is very useful!
