The Guthrie Theatre's Endless Bridge

On Saturday, June 29, Dale and I saw Little Shop of Horrors at the Guthrie Theater. 

After visiting Gold Medal Park we still had so time before the performance to step out onto the Endless Bridge which is more of a huge balcony extending out from the threater. 


The views of the city and the river are spectacular. 

From the Guthrie's website: "The Endless Bridge, one of the Guthrie’s most noteworthy features, is a cantilever that extends 178 feet from the face of the building and hovers 55 feet above the parkway." (photo: Guthrie website)



Gold Medal Park

On Saturday, June 29, Dale and I went to see Little Shop of Horrors at the Guthrie Theatre. 



We got downtown a little early so as to be sure we found parking. This allowed us to take a walk around Gold Medal Park which is on the Mississippi River. 


I believe this sculpture used to be at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden which is next to where the old Guthrie used to been near Hennepin and Lyndale. 

                     

Gold Medal Park is expansive and creates an idyllic urban green space.

Downtown Walk

Took a walk downtown after church this past Sunday. Gorgeous afternoon and I can't believe how much snow we've melted since the blizzard just the week before.  Took some great photos if I do say so myself.

After my walk, Dale and I headed to the Red Stag Supperclub in Nordeast for brunch.

Had a meeting after school in Nordeast. Got there early so I took a walk over to Boom Island and then to Nicollet. Gorgeous day for a nice hike.

Clomping Around Downtown

Sunday, September 10, 2017

Church with Dale this morning. He had a meeting afterward so I clomped around downtown for a bit and then stopped at the Normandy Inn for a Bloody Mary. He brought me some altar flowers when his meeting was over.
