A Clown Among Women

Honestly, this is how most of us feel.

Abandoned World

Not only is the phone-less booth abandoned, the building behind it is too. No kidding, I think it used to be a bank headquarters, but now it sits locked up with a well-mowed yard. The neighborhood’s attitude to the ‘jobs’ paper machine might be related. Not sure.

Traffic on Hennepin Avenue

I love the old painted signs on the buildings downtown, not really sure what this one says. Just behind this building is the Shubert Theater, the Largest Building Ever Moved. Finally they’ve started renovating it. I’ll try to get over there soon.

Uptown Apple Store Opens Today!

I went down to watch the Nature Valley Bike Festival in Uptown Friday and was surprised to see the scaffolding gone and the beautiful glowing Apple Store all ready for business. They are having their Grand Opening today at 10:00am! If you go, take a moment to stare blankly at the rubble across the street where Kitchen Window used to be. If you look closely, you can see a reflection of the gaping hole in the side of Calhoun Square with a loader parked atop the pile, like a prize fighter proudly standing on his vanquished foe. Extra credit if you can see the bikers in the reflection too.

P.S. I just noticed that one of my photos made the cover of MPR’s Minnesota Today site!
