Shops in/near Minneapolis?

[SwordGuyJoe]

All,

I have been looking online at eBay, the commercial links, and here of coarse to try to "see" as many blades as possible as an effort to learn. Understanding that looking at pictures can only help a new collector learn only so much, does anyone know of local (Minneapolis/St. Paul area) shops that I could go to? If none are around - and I haven't found any yet - how about just mid-west places? Thank you in advance.
