New owners to spice up Taste of MN
Oy. Long, long ago the Taste was actually a good way to spend the 4th of July. Remember when the Taste of Minnesota actually had food vendors -- get this -- from Minnesota? I remember watching the crowds from the steps of the State Capital. I remember sitting on the Capital lawn to watch the fireworks show that was actually one of the best in the Twin Cities. The bands were never really all that great, but they were passable.
Over time the bands got worse, the food got trucked in by folks on the national fair circuit (and was sold at outrageous prices), and then the whole thing got moved to Harriet Island. Nail? Meet coffin.
The idea that they actually want to charge admission for this sorry excuse for a festival actually made me snort in contempt. That the Taste could ever compare to Summerfest, which year after year brings in relevent national acts, is a pipe dream.
Yeeaaahhh, good luck with that, fellows.
