March 21, 201015 yr I always dug Minneapolis. It's like a Canadian city...with actual architecture. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
March 22, 201015 yr I'm diggin' that mural in the WHD. Also, while Minny might overdo it a bit (a la Dallas), Cleveland's skyline would do well with some more glass like we see here.
March 22, 201015 yr I always dug Minneapolis. It's like a Canadian city...with actual architecture. I totally agree. :-D
March 24, 201015 yr Cesar Pelli designs some classy-azz sh*t. Love his work. Minneapolis seems to be doing surprisingly well given how damn cold it is there!
March 24, 201015 yr finally, the MTM statue--but what an awful likeness! I hope she sued the "sculptor." http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
March 26, 201015 yr Ahh, the place of my birth. That fateful day in early autumn, 1979. Jimmy Carter, disco, wood paneled land rovers. And little civvik was squirted out onto the windswept Minnesota prairie, but it was too cold, so he skittered off to Cincinnati.
