Now that the Minnesota State Fair poll is finished with over 50 responses (our best yet!) I thought I’d post something about the Republican National Convention. I followed the local news and the citizen journalists’ accounts (see some micro-blogging about it here and here and then check out some pictures here) all day yesterday and wondered what you think about the whole ordeal.

So, head on over to the poll on the right hand side and click away. If what I have selected doesn’t match what you think, believe, or care to report please comment away.

Also, you can check on all of the previous polls that we have had here at Lazy Lightning in the Polls Archive.

Favorite Thing About The Minnesota State Fair Poll

Published August 20th, 2008 in Metro, Polls, St Paul | 13 Comments »

Tomorrow marks the start of the annual Minnesota State Fair which is a Minnesota tradition. Kim and I have been going yearly, minus 2005 because we got married during the fair, and I have written about our adventures during the 2006 Minnesota State Fair and various healthy eating options at the Minnesota State Fair that I gobbled up in 2007.

Kim and I picked up tickets for the two of us and Josh as well as the Cub coupon book. I didn’t find much of anything in there of great interest but Kim marked a few pages of things she’ll pick up to make the $4 cost useful. I’m looking forward to some corn, beer, and the Ye Old Mill (no, I don’t know why, I just like it, ok heh!) Kim is looking forward to just about everything except the Midway which she avoids like I wish I could the pig barn.

In celebration for this momentous, yearly event, I have placed a new poll over there to replace the Best New South Metro Restaurant Poll. It will run through 9/2 at 9 AM giving you plenty of time to come up with something after attending The Fair, if you don’t know already.

If whatever you enjoy most isn’t listed, please post it below!

Best New South Metro Restaurant Poll

Published July 24th, 2008 in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Lakeville, Polls, Restaurants, South Metro | 13 Comments »

For those of you that have been out to some of the new restaurants I have reviewed since January of 2008, I setup a new poll to vote on. While Kim had decided that I should come up with something “funny”, I am just not as creative as MSPD and Kim was of little help.

The options are:

La Luz Cafe in Apple Valley, MN
Ronin Sushi Cafe in Lakeville, MN
Panino Brothers in Apple Valley, MN
Giuseppe’s Restaurant in Burnsville, MN
Other

If you picked “Other”, please post a comment below and let us know which new restaurant (which opened in 2008) and we’ll check it out, I promise!

Best New South Metro Restaurant

Panino Brothers (41%, 14 Votes)
La Luz Cafe (26%, 9 Votes)
Ronin Sushi Cafe (24%, 8 Votes)
Giuseppe’s (6%, 2 Votes)
Other (3%, 1 Votes)

Total Voters: 34

MSPD’s Super Scientific South Metro Poll

Published June 19th, 2008 in Apple Valley, Polls, South Metro | 16 Comments »

Our world famous contributer, MSPD, has posted yet another gem of a comment here that pretty much sums up all the great happenings in the South Metro. I decided that it would be fun to see what the results of this “super scientific South Metro poll” would be and installed a plugin to help with that.

You can check out the poll over on the sidebar —> and vote. This poll will run for until July 19th and you can check the results as we go. Thanks to MSPD for the great idea ;-)

I’m putting my bet down on a fiery crash or hell freezing over but that’s me.
