Walked past the historical (1941) Grain Belt Beer sign on the banks of the Mississippi across from downtown Minneapolis. Los Angeles has the Hollywood sign; we have this.
Tadao Ando Gallery
Between flights at O’Hare, rode the L Downtown. Finally visited the Tadao Ando gallery at the Institute of Art. This peaceful place, with the 16 permanent pillars, was a refuge for some after 9/11. Next weekend we’ll sleep in a place designed by Ando on the island of Naoshima.
