Fred and I hit the gym at 7 am this morning as it was raining and the temp had plummeted to 54 degrees. Much cooler. We actually did have don two layers plus.
We then decided head out early to make one last day of “feeling the vibe” of Minneapolis. First stop: Uptown. It is very near Lake Calhoun. We walked many blocks on Hennepin Avenue and did a bit of shopping. We also spent some time chatting with folks in the local Design Within Reach store about Mid-century modern neighborhoods and had them note areas on our maps.
We had hoped to rent bikes today and hit the Grand Round Bike Trail system, but it was too rainy. We did have conversations with the folks at City Cycle about the trails and purchased the newest map and guide to the trails of the region. Literally several hundred miles of paved trails. Amazing.
After a somewhat so-so lunch at Punch Pizza. (supposed to one of the best here) we set out to find the mid-cent. neighborhoods in St. Paul. It was a bust. Either we had a negative reaction to St. Paul, or we found very little MC at all. We do now have the name of an agent who is supposed to know the MC areas well for future trips.
We leave Minnesota tomorrow to begin our 6 day drive back to San Francisco via the Badlands.
