It is great to see that no place got shut out! Every place listed had at least one visitor and I thought downtown Hallock had a chance to be the one place with none. Not because it is so bad necessarily, but because it is in the remote corner of northwest Minnesota.

Is anyone simply amazed (like me) that Split Rock Lighthouse is currently tied with Mall of America?!! MOA is in a metropolis of 3 million people just five minutes from the airport, while Split Rock Lighthouse sits about thirty miles northeast of Duluth. I have been to both of them.

Kudos to Split Rock Lighthouse!!

What's The Ledge in Duluth? I used to live there when I was little, and have been back numerous times since, but I'm not familiar with it.

I tried to put a variety of sights on there, and I had to think quick (since on this site the threads are visible before the polls). Some are rather bizarre.

Fasika is an Ethiopian restaurant on Selby Street in St. Paul. It's well known among the local foodie community. I was there in 2009 with my then-76-year-old late grandpa. He had one bite and left the entire $32 communal plate (meant for 3-4 people) to me

"The Ridge" I put on there mostly as a joke, but it's a well-known scenic overlook / lover's lane / place to buy drugs (or hangout among users of drugs) among local youth. Going from the east, it's the first lookout with a parking lot in the West End (Lincoln Park) neighborhood.

I'll be posting a new poll as soon as this has fizzled down with other popular and not-so-popular destinations and stops on the road.
