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. 

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

Monday, July 8, 2024

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.

Minneapolis from the Air

Returned from Phoenix recently. Got some cool shots as the plane was coming in for a landing. Downtown is in the distance. Cedar Lake is center left, Isles is center, and Bde Maka Ska to the right.

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.
