Powderhorn Art Fair - Athena
From Dale's blog dated August 3, 2013:
"Joe and I headed to the Powderhorn Art Fair at Powderhorn Park, which is close to our house. Minneapolis, being artsy as all get out, has three major art fairs going on this weekend - Uptown, Loring and Powderhorn. Uptown is ridiculous with 100,000 plus people and kind of commercial IMHO, Loring is more local but really packed and Powderhorn is the most local and has a good number of people but not just teeming. I really like this one. We took Athena to get her some culture. All she cared about was food and sniffing butts. Some people's dogs..."
I will add that Athena was something of the belle of the ball. Not only were dogs all a-twitter about her but a good number of people made nice comments about her as well. The red bandana that Dale tied on her, I'm sure, didn't hurt.

Parkway Theater
Brought Athena to the vet today which is down by the Parkway Theater. Had to take a snapshot. I believe I was first in this theater in 1982 to see Maggie Smith in Evil Under the Sun.

Star Tribune
I found Dale on the porch this morning reading the Star Tribune. He commented that it's been so long since he's held an actual hard copy of the paper in his hands. We subscribe to the online version but they still send a copy of the Sunday paper to our doorstep. We often don't even look at it because we can access it on our iPads before it's even delivered. The above photo is of the Star and Tribune offices in downtown Minneapolis. Not sure of the date but judging by the look of the cars I'd say it's from the late 1950s or early 60s.

Aquatennial Torchlight Parade 2013
I haven't been to the Torchlight Parade since I was about 18 years old. Wish I could've been there last night. Picture at left is a treated version of a friend's photo.
