Twin Cities METRO: Choose Your Own Adventure This Summer
Twin Cities METRO CD Bryan Nanista sends us their take on the traditional "summer guide" package, done for 2010 in the form of our favorite major life decision-making tool, the Choose Your Own Adventure
model. METRO magazine took the normal summer guide issue and created a "choose your own adventure" story book out of it.
