When you're playing "Pokemon Go", you never know where the Pokemon are going to appear. But clearly THEY don't know the difference between a good place to show up and a terrible one. But humans should, repeat SHOULD, know better. We should know when it's appropriate to play that and when an occasion calls for you to put your phone in your pocket.

Since a lot of people apparently don’t know better, the 9/11 Memorial in New York City and the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. have been asking people all week to STOP PLAYING THE GAME when they visit. You know, because it's incredibly rude and inappropriate. That’s something we don’t need to be told here in Minnesota right? That’s just the rest of the country that would be that rude. We would never do that, right?

Especially not at the Dodge County Free Fair’s special “9/11 Never Forget” exhibit going on right now. The traveling exhibit goes on display at places all around the country, which is really, really cool, since not everyone will have the opportunity to visit New York to see the memorial there.

The exhibit is available for tours (which will be led by New York Fire Department members that flew in for the event!) now through Sunday at the Dodge County Free Fair   http://www.dodgecountyfreefair.com/ Go check it out, and put the game down while you walk through it!
