Old Meets New
365.101
Where the old meets the new. Tucked away from most people’s view.
St. Thomas

Cool reflection and you can see my office building in the right half.
Turkey to Go
365.95
Food trucks are back in force in downtown Minneapolis including my favorite, Turkey to Go on 8th & Nicollet. Their turkey sandwiches melt in your mouth. Don’t chicken out on tasting the best turkey in town!
Red-winged Blackbird
365.92
I sat in Loring Park for about 10 minutes, trying to capture my daily photo, when this red-winged blackbird flew into view with a song in its heart.
Brasil
365.90
The mascot of the 2012 Macy’s Flower Show is a 10-foot tall Toucan topiary, sculpted by artists at Macy’s Parade Studio. Its beak and chest are covered with several thousand Brazilian Button Flowers applied by the floral designers at Bachman’s, who also meticulously arranged thousands of magnolia leaves to simulate the bird’s plumage.
Through Sunday, April 7, check out Brasil: Gardens in Paradise at five Macy’s flagship locations nationwide: Herald Square in NYC, Center City in Philadelphia, State Street in Chicago, downtown Minneapolis and Union Square in San Francisco.
Pillsbury A Mill
365.89
The Pillsbury A Mill sits along Saint Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Completed in 1881, it once held the title of largest flour mill in the world for 40 years, though ceased operations in 2003. Due to vibrations of milling machines and poor design, in 1905 the limestone building was fortified and the top two floors were rebuilt. Concrete and rebar reinforced buttresses were poured to help stabilize the building and reinforce the rear wall, and the front of the mill still noticeably slumps in the middle. What’s in store for this historic landmark? The plan is to convert the mill into apartment space for artists.
Red & Khaki

A sea of red and khaki pours out of the Target Center in Minneapolis as 10,000+ team members leave the spring national meeting.
Gold Bars

Peavey Plaza
365.73
Soon, the bronze-colored pipes and fountains of Peavey Plaza in Minneapolis will disappear as spring construction begins on a new vision of Peavey Plaza on Nicollet Avenue. It will then reopen in summer 2013.
Five Square
365.70
Sometimes reaching the goal is more important than the time it takes to get there. I ran to Lake of the Isles, lapped around the lake (dodging baby carriages and dog walkers) and headed back downtown. I didn’t post a great running time, but I got in 7 miles!
P.S. Did your eye find the fifth square in the photo?
