It is a little over 10 miles by bike from the downtown St. Paul area to the St. Anthony falls area in Minneapolis. There is a bike path along the river but I rode on Summit avenue and cut over to Marshal and crossed the Mississippi on the Lake Street bridge. I took this picture from Father Hennepin Park.
Sometimes people who live in St. Paul can’t find Minneapolis. They should try harder.
I try to take pictures of light rail construction on a regular basis. Here are some photographs of completed light rail in downtown Minneapolis. It will be well worth the road construction and the mess. Have you ever ridden the light rail? Easy to do and not very expensive. A single ticket is good for two hours which makes it possible to go to and from a destination on one ticket. The trains are fast and clean and there are bike racks on board and at the stations.
I sometimes post photographs of flowers but today I have a photograph of the ruins of the Gold Medal flour mill in Minneapolis. If you have never been to the Mill district you really ought to go especially if you live in the area. It is located near St. Anthony falls on the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis. There is a lot to see in the area. I could go on and on but as a St. Paulite I don’t want to get too carried away.
I try to put a little Minneapolis on my St. Paul real estate blog now and then.
We don’t have any buildings that are this tall in St. Paul.
The Most impressive building in Minneapolis in my humble opinion and being the practical sort of person that I am I can’t help but wonder how much it costs to heat these buildings.
