I am going to a conference, and will have some free times in the evenings. I want to find something to do, not far from the hotel, so I don't need pay for a taxi. The hotel is the Sofitel on West 78th in Bloomington.

I have googled and found a quilt shop "Mill End Textile" which is 3-5 miles from the hotel. All the others seem even further.

I tried looking on the Metro Transit for public transportation, I chose the 540 stop and the 684 stop and it seems to say "you can't get there from here"!

Does anyone know this area? Is that the closest quilt shop? Does transportation run in the evenings, and can you get from one to the other? Is this area safe to take public transport? Or walk half a mile to fast food if desired.

I also found a quilt guild that might be having a meeting that day, but they seem to be about 18 miles from the hotel. Sigh. I may just need to read a Jennifer Chiverini or Cindy Woodsmall or something.
