I have recently been digging deep into The Replacements history. I recently came across an article that said there was a bench, in a garden, on Lake of the Isles, memorializing Bob Stinson. I was never aware of this and have probably sat on such a bench, unknowingly. So, needless to say I am very curious now. Any chance you can check it out for me, since you seem to be in that area quite a bit? The only garden I can think of would maybe be the area they made into a grasslands area a number of years back on the southeast corner, just south of the Mary Tyler Moore house as you travel the parkway on road. This seems right because I think the bench was donated about 1999/2000. Any research and a pic would be great. Maybe it’s a fun assignment for you?
Thanks again for the great blog and pics. I appreciate your
outward candidness.

Mitch, Your outstanding snow photos these last few days make me want to stay here! They’re lovely indeed but offer negative motivation!!
Wasn’t this last snow storm a fabulous one for photo taking?
Is this somewhere in South Minneapolis? I seem to remember cross-country skiing near something like this by the Creek somewhere…

Yes, its at the southern end of Lake of the Isles, The bridge used to be the Soo line and now is a bike trail. The road below is the Lake of the Isles Parkway. Just beyond this bridge is another one that goes over the canal between LOTI and the lagoon.
