no, that's the one with the flying saucer on top. (or half a flying
saucer, judging from the pix)

that looks far more likely. I can't believe you all don't
immediately know what I'm talking about... I pointed it out to the
locals I was riding with and they acted like they'd never seen it
before. Isn't it weird how tourists have to point things out to
locals...
by "lava lamp" I am of course referring to a shifting rainbow color
light show featured prominently at the top of one of the buildings
downtown... okay, it's only visible at night, but it's pretty
blatant... it's makes me want to take a hit of acid and wander sit on
the stone arch bridge...

>I love Minneapolis - sometimes I go downtown just to walk around ...
yeah I could kick ass with a good camera downtown Minneapolis.
Especially when there is a good sunset and/or when there is a good
fresh snow and blue sky.
nice contrast with all the crazy mirrored buidlings and the old
warehousey/railroady/churchy places.

hm. not my favorite, but interesting, yes.

read: you can venture downtown in January without fear of freezing to death...
AND! many bus shelters are heated!
