Adam Turman Exhibit: Experience the bold, bright and colorful works of famed Minnesota artist, muralist, printmaker Adam Turman as he explores the wonders of nature — and how we perceive them — at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

Neal Tusler
…
During his final days of life, 83-year-old veteran, Neal Tusler discloses the smoldering pain of childhood abandonment and betrayal after being dumped in a Minneapolis orphanage during the Great Depression. He also exposes his top-secret role as a crewman of the B-36 “Peacemaker” bomber, tasked with nuclear deterrence and forcing an end to the Korean War. Lastly, he reconciles with the estranged daughter whose probing evoked those long-buried memories.
It is my profound honor to document and share the true stories of little-known, everyday American soldiers and airmen who risked their lives for our freedom. My first book, “Fighting for Delphine,” and its sequel, “Return to Fenetrange,” were borne of intriguing conversations with WWII veteran Ken Krueger. Shortly before my father, Neal, passed, he read Ken’s memoir and hinted that I should delve into his own Korean War narrative–containing a secret he had never revealed during his 83 years. “Waiting in the Wings” fulfills a promise to my father to expose the truth and help make the “Forgotten War” remembered. I am a retired educator who lives in Minnesota with my husband and son. We are blessed with three other adult children, their spouses, and eight grandchildren. Book profits support the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), Mercy Ships, Samaritan’s Purse, and the Shepherds Foundation.

Armed Forces Day: A tribute to our current military service members and veterans
Maybe the most unique patio in the Twin Cities, it’s more like a sculpture park nestled between 100-year-old brick buildings. It’s huge, it’s dog-friendly, and there’s a pizza oven in the bed of a 1976 Ford F250 with quality ’za, as well as great smoked-then-fried wings. A magical space with downtown views along the bike trail in Swede Hollow Park. 688 Minnehaha Ave. E., St. Paul
If snacking on salt-and-pepper mushrooms with the best gimlet in town while sitting in a lounge chair around a fire pit is your idea of a good time, All Saints is the place for you. Lights twinkle through the trees, which provide enough buffer from the bustle of Hennepin Avenue in northeast Minneapolis to make you feel like you’re somehow home, yet far from it. 222 E. Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis
Most of Minnesota has lakes. Duluth has the lake. The Boat Club, in the lower level of the Fitger’s Brewery Complex, looks toward downtown and the lift bridge. What a spot to watch the sunset while eating the best seafood Duluth has to offer. It’s open for lunch and dinner with the full menu and often has live music on weekends. 600 E. Superior St., Duluth
A hidden gem on Payne Avenue, eastsiders know that Brunson’s Pub is the ideal hang. It’s a surprisingly large patio framed by tall ivy-colored walls, with some of the best sandwiches in St. Paul. A perfect burger and a pulled-bacon BLT, with a fried egg and avocado, are my favorites. You won’t leave thirsty: Brunson’s has 20 craft beer taps along with cocktails from its longtime bartender-slash-owner. 956 Payne Ave., St. Paul
Whenever anyone asks me for my favorite barbecue, Buddy Boy is always among my top choices. Now, with a freshly constructed palace befitting the awesome smoked ribs at Buddy Boy, the new patio features live music every Saturday. It’s between Minnetrista and St. Boni, and trust me, the drive is worth it to sit under the summer sun enjoying the perfect balance of smoke and tenderness from executive chef Joe Cox. 8175 MN-7, Minnetrista
There’s something about the casualness of Due Focacceria that feels right. It’s a Mac-Groveland neighborhood restaurant where you can sit with your friends at a picnic table under the canopy overlooking Randolph Avenue. Get one of the sharing boards of ricotta cheese or Italian carne, or the octopus salad with fried pepperoni, pair it with an Aperol spritz, and then rub it in that your neighborhood is the best. 475 Fairview Ave. S., St. Paul
Ann Ahmed knows how to create an outdoor respite. Her patio at Khâluna makes you forget you’re across the street from a south Minneapolis gas station. Her rooftop patio at Gai Noi takes advantage of one of the coolest spots in the city: at the front door of Loring Park, with a glorious skyline view. Plus, it has excellent cocktails, all on tap for fast service. Dip your sticky rice in the tomato jeow and celebrate. 1610 Harmon Place, Minneapolis
You’d never know you were in northeast Minneapolis, sitting alongside the stream of rainbow trout behind the iconic Jax Cafe. Trees and an awning provide shade, flowers bring the color. There’s even a fireplace out there. Net your own fish and have the kitchen prepare it, or order the legendary prime rib. 1928 University Ave. NE, Minneapolis
I love biking to Stillwater (I cheat by hopping on the trail in North St. Paul), and my final destination off the Gateway Trail is almost always the little back patio at LoLo. You can see the lift bridge on the St. Croix, and you can have a terrific cocktail with some fried Brussels sprouts and duck tacos. Then, get ready for the uphill ride back home. 233 Main St. S., Stillwater
A trip to Paris on the streets of St. Paul: Meritage’s sidewalk patio is the most urbane spot in our capital city. You can gaze at the ornate brickwork of the Landmark Center, and you’re also right by Rice Park and the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. Choose from the best French wine list in the state, enjoy the most interesting oysters with perfectly crisp pommes frites and bearnaise sauce—it doesn’t get better. 410 St. Peter St., St. Paul
Lush landscape and terrific beer complement a menu of smoked meat sandwiches and brewpub favorites. It way overperforms what you’d expect. Easy to bike to in southeast Minneapolis, Northbound has a solar-powered installation on the pergola above the patio. Don’t miss the 18-hour porchetta sandwich with smoked Swiss, or one of the best fried chicken sandwiches in town. 2716 E. 38th St., Minneapolis
Hudson, Wisconsin, has some terrific outdoor dining, but when I want to be transported to a warm-weather vacation, it has to be the patios at side-by-side restaurants San Pedro Cafe and Pedro’s Pizza Lounge (previously called Pedro’s del Este). Bold Caribbean flavors and bold flowers match at San Pedro. Next door, enjoy craft cocktails and lovely Spanish tapas as the sun sets on the patio. 426 Second St., Hudson, Wisconsin (San Pedro Cafe); 212 Walnut St., Hudson, Wisconsin (Pedro’s Pizza Lounge)
