I live here in MN and it's been buzzing all over the radio stations. Seems to be a big hit!
I walk through the Mall to get to the bus stop, and that thing has been buzzing. I could do without the DJ-type announcer, though. I suppose one day I should stop and check it out and just grab the next bus.
