Historic building – telephone company
I think this is an apartment building now, or a converted office building. To think that used to work as the phone company for Minneapolis. With a population of 500,000 that really wouldn’t work now.
Superiority?
The self-righteous bikus
Biking in Minneapolis is simultaneously one of the most awesome and one of the worst aspects of living here. It’s a bike friendly city with great trails, enthusiastic bikers and bike lanes in downtown traffic. Along with that, unfortunately, comes hordes of crappy bikers that make the good ones look bad. Environmental superiority does not elevate one above the law, and asshole bikers cause a LOT of accidents and near-accidents. I see some running stoplights on Central almost daily – until police crack down on them for running stoplights and add a nasty fine (dangerous!) I oppose installing bike lanes.
Canada Pacific Railway
You can get to this by crossing space between a community garden and a private residence. I really meant to explore more in spring 2010, but my good walking shoes did not break in properly until sometime in August. Hopefully as you read this I’m out collecting fresh photos from new territories.
