So, you ask, what exactly did I do for my vacation?
Why, I took a road trip. To Uptown Minneapolis.
Does this skyline look familiar to anyone?
So - the first thing I did after getting off the Interstate was to go to the corner of 19th and Stevens. I had to go around the block, but I found it:
Alas, the door leads to - apartments. The old hospital building has been turned into "retro" apartments. This is the front door:
Just a few blocks down from here is the intersection that we saw Monica crossing after the Calendar Machine incident.
And here, we have the lion in front of the Minneapolis Institute of Art (No, it's not the MHS - that's over on the campus of the U of M). I didn't see any little gods of alcohol running around, or any wild shadows. There were a lot of kids, though; the Children's Theater is attached to the MIA on the east side.
NOTE: It does get extremely bright from that perspective during the day, hence the prism effect of the photo. (Sue me, it was my iPad's camera.)
Monica was seen walking down these steps after complaining her boss lied to her about being in a "non-social" position. The stairs are blocked off, as the entrance is now on the east side of the building.
More to come...
