An Insider's Guide to the Republican National Convention |
|
|---|---|
"Minnesota Nice" is a phrase locals use to describe Gopher State charm. Nowhere is that expression more appropriate than the Q Kindness Café, which first opened in 1961. Located two blocks from the convention center, they will be open for dinner during the event and serving "hot dishes" like Tater Tot surprise and tuna casserole. Husband and wife co-owners Lisa Cotter Metwaly and Jimmy Metwaly also started a pay-it-forward "kindness campaign" and hope to have seven businesses and 7,000 people smiling on their brother by September. The Metwalys walk the walk. Instead of wallowing after a $250 February burglary (it included $50 in waitress' tips), the couple bought $100 worth of hand warmers and handed them out to customers waiting in the cold at the bus stop. |
