walker.

the walker is a cool place. having visited quite a few museums around the country I'm sorry to to have to tell you, ours are pretty great. the walker is one of them. have to ignore the nasty bits and maybe that's hard with kids, not sure kids should go to the walker, at least parts of it...
here's a video of my visit. sven

incongruous shoes.

   an incongruous sight, I didn't need to wonder long whether or not I should snap this pic. these shoes were (seemingly) abandoned on lake st. in s. minneapolis outside ingebretsen's on my last trip there. (or, maybe the owner is living a kind of minimalist life style. he returns for his shoes when he needs them, if they are not there, he didn't need them? - ed.)

   ingebretsen's seems more than a little incongruous (in it's location) too. the market was opened in 1921 and has been run by the ingebretsen's since. hoot, who just passed away last year, ran it for many of the last 50 years. the neighborhood has completely 'morphed' around them like something out of the film 'being there' (excellent - ed.) a fine scandinavian market, part gift shop, part wonderfully pungent deli. it's always a treat to visit.
