A Minnesotan walks into a bar.
Orders a beer and takes a seat at a table crowded with friends and happy dogs and covered with bingo cards and takeout tacos.
An ordinary game night at Lakes & Legends Brewing Co. in Minneapolis' Loring Park neighborhood. But after a year of sacrifice and social distance, there's nothing more extraordinary.
Minnesotans who did everything right — masked up, vaxed up, cared whether their neighbors lived or died — are ready to have fun again.
We're planning trips. We're buying movie tickets. We're strolling around outside without masks, trying to remember what to do with the bottom half of our face.
