The light rail from MOA to downtown can kill some time. Safe and kind of cool to check out. Once down town, you could take a hike over to Mill city museum and see some of the other Mississippi river sites in downtown area (new 35w bridge, that replaced the one that fell) . . .. http://www.millcitymuseum.org/ I think getting off at the vikings stadium (MOA stadium), downtown and the mill city museum is only a short 5 or 6 block walk. The Mpls convention center has a sewing and quilt show . . .
