Cycled through this space in the Crown-Arts Campus, Northeast Minneapolis.

One Year Later
On my cycle ride: one year later.
Nature’s Hand
I like to cycle through this yard in Northeast Minneapolis, behind the Casket Arts Building, and observe the creative process. The juxtaposition of works in process and abandoned always intrigues me, especially when Mother Nature adds serendipity in the form of a large puddle.
Rising Above
On my multimodal jaunt (shared bicycles and walking), an artist took the opportunity for self-expression on some of the plywood that is temporarily ubiquitous in our community.
Thirteen-Foot Rooster
On my walk, a thirteen-foot rooster competed with an oversized spoon and cherry.
Former Instant Coffee Factory
On a Minneapolis North Loop walk, gave this apartment/retail building a second look. Recently learned 100 years ago this was an instant coffee factory that was claimed to be the largest in the world.
Prophecy of the Ancients
The grass was greening up in the rain when I paused at Prophecy of the Ancients in Gold Medal Park.
Large Timber Construction
Wandered around the Minneapolis North Loop with a friend, staring at repurposed industrial buildings. Many of the modern buildings draw upon the ethos of the area. When this building (T3 Building) opened in 2016, it was the largest mass (laminated) timber building in the country.
Dressed In Snow
At the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden snow had softened some shapes while accentuating others. A bronze figure had gained a skull cap and shawl.
New Use for a Bank
Included some of my favorite indoor spaces on my Downtown walk. This was originally the banking hall for the Farmers and Mechanics Bank, my first bank when I arrived in Minneapolis. The original space is quite recognizable, although it’s now the lobby of a Westin.
