The Many Minneapolis Colors
My friend Hannah and I have begun a tradition of going on absurdly long walks annually when she's in town for college. It started out as a rebellious act against running, and has blossomed into a lovely and exciting bonding experience. I have found it to be a very intriguing way to experience the diversity of Minneapolis.
This year we started at Lake Harriet, and followed Minnehaha Parkway all the way to Minnehaha Falls through overwhelming greenery and crisp shaded air. Then we took the light rail to Hiawatha and Lake Street. We followed Lake St. down through Midtown, home to the small Philips Neighborhood, where 107 languages are spoken. Midtown is like the meeting place for all cultures: arms from around the planet stretch to here. Lake St. took us through Midtown to Uptown. The journey around Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet back to our car were the familiar, yet beautiful, place we've grown to know well-- where urban meets nature.
