All Star Thunderbirds!

It’s an exciting day in the North Loop of Minneapolis today! The MLB All-Star game is going on right now…and above is just a quick shot of the F-16 Thunderbirds that started off the game!

There’s something about this building that makes me travel back in time each time I walk by it – where the women are wearing huge bustle dresses with a hundred buttons and the men are in top hats and canes. Then I look up, see all the skyscrapers and am instantly snapped out of it,…

Doors to the Past

Every time I’m here I want to spend all of my time taking photos. So many ingesting nooks and crannies, all of them telling an old story. Several days a week we walk downtown to this amazing building to work. How I feel when I walk in the door: Inspired. @Coco, in the Grain Exchange…

2012 Snowpocalypse

This is not from today, obviously. But in light of the newly fallen snow this morning, I thought I’d dig up one of these from the dumping we got last month, seeing as I haven’t posted one yet! Was such a beautiful day! I think I spent 4 hours wandering, taking pictures that day –…

Welcome to the Foundry!

I am SO excited to introduce you to the Foundry! It’s a home goods store in the north loop with the most amazing and unique items in there – beautiful enough to wish I had several hundred dollars just to ‘blow’ there. The store owner (Ana) is incredibly sweet and friendly, going out of her…

Brick Script

This is from one of my favorite buildings in my neighborhood.

There’s something about old, worn, painted brick signs on buildings…

Changes on the Mall

There are some big things happening with Target downtown, one of them being the construction taking place on the Mall after acquiring a new property last fall. It sure will be an exciting couple of years as things change and take shape! More pictures to come as progress is made!

Gated Window

Just a little pause to see beauty in the ordinary. @ Aria at the Jeune Lune

Vertical City

It’s summer! I realize this doesn’t completely capture summer…but the colors and geometric shapes make me happy. Happy Summer!

One last feeling of warmth

Bonus photo! I figured I’d dig into the archives and pull out a summery-feeling photo, seeing as the weather is finally changing..and the last couple days have been a bit dreary.

Downtown Apartments

I’ve always loved these apartments. If only they had parking for guests, I’d consider moving there. Pic taken by Paul Prins

Grain Belt at Dusk

A walk at dusk along the Mississippi, we took a moment to take in the quiet next to the hustle & bustle of the city.

Nightly View

Welcome to our view each night! Love that it hasn’t gotten old yet.

Biking to the Market

We spent last week in Seattle for a family wedding. Here’s just one of hundreds of photos I took over the course of the week. Seattle-ites love their biking, tourists love the market – here’s a little of each. Stay tuned, many more Seattle pictures to come!
