Cold

Despite the fact that it's been cold as Hell lately, there's a serenity to winter that I can still appreciate. This scene is of Minneahaha Creek between 28th Avenue and Hiawatha on 46th Street.

Minneapolis Holiday Market

The Minneapolis Holiday Market is this year simply known as Holidazzle. Dale and I checked it out and saw Santa Claus wandering about. 

Uptown Theater

Stopped at Lund's in Uptown after church today. Snapped a shot of the theater. I haven't been in since it's been remodeled.

Obama in Minneapolis

At a recent stop in Minneapolis, President Obama stopped by Matt's Bar for a Jucy Lucy; considered to be one of the best burgers in town. I haven't been for a few years, but the Jucy Lucy, with it's molten hot cheese hidden inside the burger patty, can be quite a shock when one is not expecting it. I learned the hard way when I burned my tongue on the first one I ever tried. I've learned to be more careful.

35W

I took this shot from the 46th Street bridge over 35W. I remember crossing the Diamond Lake Road bridge (54th Street) as a kid and watching the cars and looking at the same view although it was quite a different skyline back in the 70s.

Skyline from the Stone Arch Bridge

Recently on Facebook my friend Ken posted this photo of the skyline taken from the Stone Arch Bridge. Great shot.

Anodyne

Have already made a couple of trips to Anodyne in the week I've been off of school for summer vacation.  Recently I found  that Anodyne was sold to new owners but will still remain open under a new name. Dale thinks the menu items will remain the same. Hopefully because this place makes great food. They also make the best mocha I've ever had - never too sweet.
