(that was the college I picked back in the day. before I realized I wouldn't be going to college. hell, I couldn't even pronounce it correctly.)
now will journey into Wisconsin instead of Minnesota, just want to go somewhere we've never been. Dubuque may throw a wrench in the Buddy Holly plans....they've been pushed to the back burner before.
so, you ask, how did I learn about this? from an amazon prime movie, silly!
Four friends break into Eloise, an abandoned insane asylum, in search of a death certificate which will grant one of them a large inheritance. Unbeknownst to these four trespassers, what begins as an in-and-out adventure will evolve into their darkest nightmare in a place haunted by evil doctors, tortured spirits and unspeakable memories.

Eloise was built as a poorhouse and farm in 1839. over the years, grew to be a complex of 76 buildings covered 900 acres – the size of a small city. one of the most elaborate mental facilities in the country.
its own police and fire department, post office, cattle herds, greenhouse, cannery, tobacco field and, at one point, housed over 12,000 patients seeking help for moderate-to-severe mental illness. And though it sits empty today, rumors run rampant that some of these former residents still haunt the halls of Eloise.
budget problems: Wayne County, Michigan is currently looking to sell this iconic piece of real estate. large parcels of the land being sold off to Ford Motor Company and even developed into an 18-hole golf course. But a large portion of the complex remains unsold and untouched.
To cement its status as a haunted icon, there’s even a star-studded thriller inspired by the Eloise Mental Asylum, dubbed simply "Eloise." Though its release date is still up in the air, it’s been an ongoing reminder of the rumors that swirl around the abandoned facility.

I love a good ghost story....and a story within a story...where you don't know you are a ghost....WHOA. mind blown.
really interested in Des Lux Hotel in Des Moines. it is pretty pricey. so, maybe a cheaper hotel in DM for the weekend and splurge on something with WOWZA factor for later on in the trip...
my eyeballs are jittery. Kevin has taken over the search. found a cool place on Mississippi River, but not the way to Minnesota, apparently. must just be the one road.....
