the twin cities
I visited Minneapolis for the first time last week . . .
Things didn’t start off right as I was greeted by a Fox News store at the airport. What a silly way to make a first impression!
Maybe this is some Republican vision of what it would look like to privatize libraries . . .?
Things got better as I left the airport and noted the extensive light rail system that actually goes from the airport to the city (take note, LA!)
My friend Pat lives across the street from an old White Castle. It has been reappropriated.
Upon closer inspection, this former royal palace of burgers is now a jeweler. Get a sack of burgers, find that special engagement ring . . .
But wait, theres more! Don’t forget to bring your broken accordian . . .
The twin cities are very beautiful and I was impressed by the extensive bike lanes. Good job urban planners! There seems to be a thriving arts and music scene, and I was impressed by the sculpture park i visited with my friend Pat…
One installation was a series of quotes on stone slabs, a wittier Stonehedge. I was impressed by the following two slabs in particular . .
You’ve really got to enjoy that luxurious amount of time . . .
Nothing worse than entitlement. . .
All in all, you rock, Minneapolis!
