Parade Home Madness


An aging Cardinal sunk an imaginary long shot Sunday in a dream home March Madness pickup game, while his wife watched from the glassed-in gallery above.
The annual Parade of Homes always features some ridiculous house that you could never live in, but you love to tour and wonder about. To keep the riff-raff down, they ask for a $5 donation just to get inside. Hai sponsored our trip to the Edina $2.5 million "house" Sunday and it didn't disappoint. You could never actually live in it, but it had a great basement bar and a magnificent kitchen.
We, of course, marked it down for a number of flaws (a basement bedroom without an en suite?? and only one staircase way out of the way over on the other side of the house?)
It's a fun afternoon on a cold day. Here'a s tip: You have to take your shoes off, but try to leave them where it is warm inside.
