Splash of Uptown

I love taking telephoto shots in town, the compression flattens out the scene and emphasizes the repetitive nature of the landscape. Don't you just love her goofy backpack? with the all-black outfit, it just jumps out. Besides, did you notice? A pay phone! One of like four left in town.

Living on a Grid

The honesty of disrepair on full display in sharp relief. Isn't it interesting that the shadows are only so clear because of the clear bright sky? This tableau caught not only my eye, but Dusty's too.

Signs of Uptown, Minneapolis

With all the new stores going in up the street, the tired skuffed-up Uptown Theater and it's near-by signs still keep a little of the local charm. Ah, not long until my little lost Bohemian home is cleaned up and called Updale.

Not an Apple Store Gets Glass from Germany

On the property that used to be the famous Uptown Bar and Grill, they are building a secret, yet-to-be-announced retail location that is definitely not an Apple Store. The contractors installed giant panes of glass last Friday that came from Germany. The not an Apple Store has an all-glass front and blue steel pillars on both sides. We chatted with the contractor a bit and, besides not telling us that it was going to be an Apple Store, he said that the Suburban World Theater that is just to the south of the property has a structural problem... The wall is bowing out seven inches and the engineers had to change the design of the not an Apple Store to accommodate the problem. He didn't seem concerned, so it must not be threatening, but still, what a headache.

Secret 'Fruit Stand' Gets Big Windows

You didn't hear it from me, but the location of the rumored new Apple Store in Uptown Minneapolis is really starting to look like an Apple Store. I wonder what FirstTech thinks of this?
