The Tangletown Neighborhood is where I grew up in Minneapolis and this corner is on the western border of it. 

The Boulevard Theater is no longer in existence.  Although the theater is gone you can see the marquee in the far left of the photo. The marquee is still there but I believe the space is now used by a tutoring organization. 

The Red Owl grocery store chain is no longer in existance. The space is now occupied by Kowalski's which is also a grocery store. I miss the owl logo. 

The Salk Drug Store space is now occupied by a Starbucks.

The March Part 2 - Walking Back to the Car

 

It was such a beautiful day and it was great to be on the Stone Arch Bridge. I haven't been on it for years. 

The March Part 1

 

Dale and I went to No Kings 2.0 on October 18. 

We parked over Nord'East and had breakfast at the Aster Cafe. 

We walked over to the Stone Arch Bridge...

....and crossed over. 

We had a great time.
