Way to go, Doc!
That was a very nice story about the doctor saving the girl’s life after the crash on I-94. Quick thinking and a very selfless act. Good to have a positive story like this every once in a while.
What’s the Minneapolis downtown tax up to? Isn’t it already at 10% for food & drink in the downtown zone?
