Twin City Taxi-Cab Company, Minneapolis (1911) I would’ve loved a horse cab option last Saturday night. There was a group of 6 of us that left First Ave. around 1:30 trying to hail and cab and found it next to impossible. Of course I was dressed as an Inglorious Basterd, my girlfriend as a very hot Medusa,  and our friends were dressed as afro-clad disco-freaks, star trek crew members, and various other things. But then again, it was Halloween. After trying to hail cabs for about half an hour, they were all full, and then being rejected by a Lincoln Town Car service because we had one too many, we decided to huff it down Hennepin since we only needed to make it back to Nordeast and Shuga Records (where we had started that night). About 5 minutes into our walk Adam (from Shuga) and Nena started asking random cars driving down Hennepin to give a ride back to the record shop. They found some guy in a Dodge Durango that was willing to give us a ride, for the small compensatory fee of $40. He already had a few people in the Durango, so after we managed to pack 10 people inside he gave us a ride across the river. Like I said, a horse cab option would’ve been greatly welcomed last Saturday night, and it probably would’ve been cheaper too. (via stuffaboutminneapolis)
