On my cycle ride: minimal vs. Baroque. The sculpture, “Theaster Gates,” contains a statue of the patron saint of librarians and archivists.

Staring Faces
Faces stared when I walked into the DMV office in the basement of Midtown Exchange to update the address on my driver’s license.
Minneapolis Bronze Statues
Posted Minneapolis Bronze Statues.
Birth of a Mural
Artists were creating a mural as I cycled the Midtown Greenway.
Temple to Gods of Underwriting
Walked past this Minneapolis landmark built in 1965 for an insurance company. A critic described it as a temple to the gods of underwriting.
2B4ALL
Looked behind Cedar-Riverside LRT Station; found this.
Books on Display
Meandered around Minneapolis on my bicycle. Caught up on coffee and calories in the café at Open Book.
Refugia
Cycled past the Guthrie Theater where we will “explore exile, borders and the displacement of peoples” (“Refugia”) this evening.
Cloudscrapers
Cycled in pursuit of stories. In 1888 the architect of this home patented skyscraper construction concepts, calling them “cloudscrapers.”
Arrival of the Blue Rooster
Peered through a construction fence at this week’s new arrival: a blue rooster. The renovated Minneapolis Sculpture Garden opens next week.
