Let's here it for the Dept of State and Ramsey county for processing at lightening speed! Come prepared with the old checkbook. I think that's all they accept and they are closed for lunch from 1-2 pm. Hasn't been a long line to wait in yet (so far). We were going to take our own photos, but they can do them too for $10.00 and it's worth it versus having to crop it and get the right lighting. Friendly people on staff and helpful.

Going in the room almost has similarities to a concert. First trying to find a goddamn parking space. The audience is waiting around. The clerk is the warm up. Actually she had an odd resemblance to singer, Kasey Lansdale. She liked that. The officers of the court, attorneys are the roadies. Then the band, court reporter, defendant etc. The bailiff is the announcer. Then the star performer, the judge makes it all happen. And the decision is the encore. My first experience was on jury duty, when the OJ Simpson verdict was handed down and there was cheering in the room. I was on a crack cocaine possession case. I really enjoyed it, I also hated my job at the time and was hoping for a murder. We found him not guilty and I think he was more surprised than anyone.

Buffalo has a couple of these but nothing quite compares to the ones here, and one of them is Saint Anthony Village. It actually has a huge Mall as part of it although it's in the City of Roseville technically - I'm not really sure how they define these things. Saint Anthony is sort of within Roseville. It's a nice affluent part of town a few miles north of downtown, with absolutely horrendous traffic. I like it and on the other hand I don't like it because of the traffic. It is the most popular Mall in town other than the gargantuan Mall of America. A lot of people from all over the area come to these parts if they don't want to Brave the massive Mall of America.
