Cave Tour

Saw the Wabasha Street caves tour in St. Paul today, nice to get that one crossed off my list finally. Got a few more Charlie Brown and Snoopy statue pictures as well, 10 more for the weekend, now up to 64. One of these was a Snoopy outside the cave. After the tour we went to a drive-in on the east side, a Dari-ette, with Italian food. Liked seeing metal tray holders there, no need to have the tray resting on the car window then.
    Made it to a documentary movie about baseball, nice how the crowd clapped at the end. Reminded me of seeing the Beatles movie 'Hard Days Night' when it was re-issued to theaters while I was living in suburban Chicago. The movie we saw was 'Jews in Baseball', and it did cover the likes of Hank Greenberg, Sandy Koufax, and Moe Berg. It was a little graphic when there was footage of a player being beaned in his first major league at-bat.
    The cave tour ended with me getting a postcard as I pointed out how there was a disco ball up. Liked seeing some pictures of some gangsters on the wall there, like the Ma Barker gang. I am more interested in doing the gangster tour at some point, which begins there and lasts about 2 hours.
