Since gas is starting to get expensive, I thought it might be a good idea to stay home and get some shots of my own city.
Today I spent the afternoon wandering the North Loop, a mostly residential district directly northwest of downtown Minneapolis. The North Loop has an unusual mix of both historic and modern architecture, which reflects the once almost exclusively industrial nature of the neighborhood.
As early as ten years ago, most of this area was filled with abandoned buildings, industrial waste, and block-after-block of parking lots. Massive revitalization efforts and gentrification have transformed it into a beautiful, thriving neighborhood that has become one of the most desirable (and expensive) areas of the city.
