Happy Thanksgiving from us here at Creative Housing Solutions in Minneapolis! This is one of our favorite holidays of the whole year. Everyone loves the food and the spirit of the season. We wanted to just share a quick little Thanksgiving trivia with you. Did you know that the Pilgrims who came over on the Mayflower had terrible issues adjusting to a new land, and by fall 1621 about half of the original travelers were left alive. Those who survived were motivated by their luck in the face of adversity (with some help from the Native Americans they encountered) to have a modest feast in order to give thanks which is the origin of our modern holiday!

State Lotto Sales Up
There has been a story in the news this week that the Minnesota State Lottery sales have hit yet another record. This is the fifth consecutive record breaking year for ticket sales. Many people, including the officials overseeing the lottery were a little surprised to see $520 million in sales (up $15.6 million from last year). Not everyone is so shocked though. Analysis by academics has indicated that gambling, especially in the form of the lotto spikes in hard economic times. Many people buy a ticket with a little extra money when making other purchases and it gives them hope, even though the odds may not be very good.

Minneapolis Swimming Pools
There is still some summer left, so be sure you enjoy it right with a trip to the swimming pool! There are some very different but equally great options in Minneapolis as far as water parks and swimming pools go!
Jewish Community Center -
The JCC is a great option if you want serious swimming. Their lap pool facilities are great. They also have a full compliment of great swim lessons for the kids. They keep it clean and well staffed, so you are sure to get good service.
Jim Lupient Water Park -
If you are looking for fun more than anything, this may be your spot. They have four slides of various kinds as well as all kinds of other water features. It is very accessible! If you want to lap swim, you can, but they also have log walks and water volleyball.
St. Louis Park Rec Center -
Similar to Jim Lupient Water Park, this is not just a swimming pool. They have a mixture of 4 different kinds of slides and a few other features. It is a great place for kids and there is plenty of space to catch some sun. The wade in entry keeps it nice and safe for everyone!

Minneapolis News in May
Veterans' Grave Markers Go Missing
This is one of the saddest things we've seen lately. Each military veterans' grave is marked with a bronze marker. There has been a recent trend where thieves had been going around taking the markers from cemeteries. There is now pressure to move markers to homes, rather than cemeteries, but to have to do this would be a sad reflection on the community. It appears as if they are stealing the stars for scrap metal but it is truly disappointing because they really do not have much intrinsic value, and instead they are taking away something of great sentimental value from the families of the departed. If you see something, please report it.

Restaurant Reviews in Minneapolis
Minneapolis has some really amazing restaurants for your dining pleasure. Below we'll highlight a few of the newer and more high dining experiences. Other kinds of restaurants are coming in future posts!
Pizzeria Lola -
Located in Linden Hills, Pizzeria Lola is an amazing pizza place. Your delicious pie will come straight out of their gorgeous copper pizza oven. They have all kinds of unique, gourmet recipes for you to test out! We also recommend the olive oil and salt ice cream!
Pat's Tap -
Pat's is a great new place. It only opened last September and has been a huge hit. The great beer and high quality food, along with a little skee-ball make this place a top notch gastropub. They have almost 20 local draft beers to try out. They are also in Linden Hills.
Sea Change -
For great fresh seafood downtown you can't beat Sea Change. They are extremely creative and have a great atmosphere. They pay a lot of attention to where they get their seafood, buying from environmentally friendly fisheries.
