minnesota party tape
from bob dylan posted in music by crabapple
This is the location of the Bob Dylan recording known as the "Minnesota Party Tape."
In 1960, teenager Cleve Petterson had purchased a reel-to-reel recorder. He hung out at the local coffee shop, and he asked a local folk musician to perform some songs. Bob Dylan agreed.
They went to this address, along with Bonnie Beecher, and "Cynthia"- another local musician and friend of Dylan's.
Petterson recorded and Dylan performed the following: "Blues Yodel No. 8," "Come See Jerusalem," "San Francisco Bay Blues," "I'm a Gambler," "Talkin' Merchant Marine," "Talkin' Hugh Brown," "Talkin' Lobbyist," "Red Rosey Bush," "Johnny I Hardly Knew You," "Jesus Christ," "Streets of Glory" and "K.C. Moan."
The recording can be heard at the Minnesota Historical Center.
gray’s campus drug

Bob Dylan moved to the Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis in the fall of 1959, and attended the University of Minnesota as a journalism major for a year. One of his apartments was above a place named Gray's Campus Drug at the corner of 14th Ave S and 4th st SE. Today, the drugstore is an upscale pasta bar.
While only in Dinkytown for 15 months before moving to New York, Bob Dylan had some formative experiences here: being introduced to folk music, trading in his electric guitar for an acoustic, hearing Woody Guthrie for the first time and reading Guthrie's book, Bound for Glory.

Although the 331 Club in Northeast Minneapolis was used for the exterior shot of Slippery's bar in Grumpier Old Men, the interior was shot a few blocks away at Mayslack's. Rumor has it that the bartender, seen here as Sophia Loren walks in, is in fact the owner.

Grumpy Old Men and its sequel Grumpier Old Men were both set in Wabasha, Minnesota, although I don't think either movie was shot there. Instead, many of the filming locations were in St. Paul, Stillwater and Faribault. The exterior of Slippery's bar is currently the location of the 331 Club in Northeast Minneapolis.
The interior was filmed at nearby Mayslack's
