No more get togethers at porky's in down town st. paul anymore. The business will be closing sunday, and sold.

I am very sad about this, because it was a spot I went to every weekend over the summer.

Isn't the light rail going right there? I'm sure the offer was more than enticing if that's the case.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was a major contributing factor in their decision. Pretty sure Menards will have the same reaction to parking lot use as the rest of uni has, and with the construction going on it's going to suck anyway,

Depending what time I get off work, I'd like to stop by. I'll give you a call Alan when I'm done with work to see if you're still there.

I only saw the one black SVT right out the door of Porkys. My first time there, was pretty awesome.
