I enjoy Minneapolis.

 

That almost looks like Jerry Springer.

wow folks our o.g. mods are truly amazing multi-taskers, even commenting on threads today at the exact moments while tiger woods is giving his lame "statement"  :laugh: !!

Ya'll better leave Tigga alone!

"Tigga"?

 

Love downtown Minneapolis. What, no Hiawatha Light Rail shots?!?

^ what, you didnt catch the last line up there? this thread has been up like 15 freakin minutes -- PATIENCE!!!  :whip:  :wink:

 

ok, ok i'll do transit next!

no Mary Tyler Moore statue?

grilled cheddar, tomato & garlic = tasty!

 

 

....you've never had that before???

 

(and what is e-block? It looks like 4th Street Live, but more city)

 

I love this shot.  It's so noir, but the lighting is great, and they used to make Hamms there, too (From the Land of Sky Blue Waters, if y'all remember the animated commercial)

 

I am loving this town just from these pix.  That corner burger place belongs on a CD or album cover. 

 

 

This place...please don't tell me those bikes have snow tires! lol....

 

Minneapolis looks pretty sweet.  It looks like it's got something for everyone.  Thanks for the awesome night shots.

I'm liking Minneapolis.  Did you happen to get the I-35W St. Anthony Falls Bridge??  I know it's got a really nice LED system, and the bridge itself is gorgeous.

patience, patience everyone -- never fear, i got a ton of pics, hang on!  :wink:

Awesome shots! I can feel the vibe of Minneapolis through these pictures. What's the economy like up there anyway? 

Wow, I really enjoyed looking at these!

Nice.

I came back to start a band of course/

Saw her walking thru the Crystal Court/

She made a scene by the revolving doors/

She's gonna walk around and drink some more/

So we walked across that Grain Belt bridge/

Into a bright new Minneapolis...

 

The Hold Steady: Party Pit.

 

 

 

 

Looks great!

One of the things I love about the Midwest are those warm dark bars you can crawl into on a freezing cold night and enjoy some high carb food and great beer.  I would love to visit Minneapolis myself sometime but I have no family or friend connections there at all.

Yes this was also my favorite. Says so much.

 

And those icicles up above look like an accident waiting to happen...

 

(and what is e-block? It looks like 4th Street Live, but more city)

 

 

It's actually Block e  and it's a pretty interesting mall that seamlessly connects with the skyway system.  There's a movie theater, Hard Rock Cafe, Starbucks, Applebees, etc.  But it's called Block e because that block is a historic block call Block E.

 

Here's the wiki on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_E_(Minneapolis)
