Minneapolis – Page 42

Early Minneapolis

Walked beside the Mississippi past old buildings.

Walked past 19th century homes on Nicollet Island in the middle of the Mississippi, close to Downtown.

On my Lake of the Isles jog today: Icehenge setup. The wooden forms will be removed and the resultant ice columns illuminated by candles.

Toured the billion dollar US Bank Stadium. I saw some of the thousands of feet of pipes for the centralized beer distribution system.

Jogged past the “Mary Tyler Moore House.” In 1973 the owner put up an “Impeach Nixon” sign to discourage filming of more establishing shots.

Walked on fresh snow through Nordeast Minneapolis.

Walked with friends beside the Mississippi.

On my chilly walk today: Kenwood Park Water Tower from the Kenilworth Trail.

Looked at a reflection of the Foshay Tower from the open-air observation deck at the top of the Foshay Tower. It was completed in 1929.

Walked past Spring Lake, one of the smallest lakes in Minneapolis. It is just beginning to freeze over.
