Around 26th and Lyndale, Mpls

These first two pics were taken behind Robot Love, which is a pretty funky little store with lots of street art inspired stuff. You can check out Robot Love stickers here.



I really liked the bird thing on here:


The old coal chute for one of the shops. You always find the best stuff in the alley!


Inner city life, y'up that's how we like it:


And as always, a 27. sighting!

West Bank, U of MN

Ah, the West Bank, where I spend most of my days. It is actually not very interesting considering that the East Bank is one of the most picturesque campuses in the country.


Above is the Washington Ave. Bridge, by the time I caught up to that woman on the left she was arguing with the Coke machine about Diet Coke. Needless to say, a lot of strange people can be found wandering around the U.


The iconic and mysterious shoe tree...



Above is the Rarig Center, home to Radio K.


This last one is a work by my sculpture TA: R. Justin Stewart.

St. Petersburg/St. Pete Beach, FL

You know you're in the South when they put pecans in you're pancakes. Mmmm...


The Don CeSar, a big ol' fancy hotel that you can see from a long ways away on the beach. Not really as classy as it wants to be, but it has an interesting history...



St. Pete Beach is a pretty good white sand beach...these shells are future grains of sand...


I like pelicans...


These people were climbing up in the rigging of the Bounty replica ship that has been used in 'Master and Commander' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean' inspecting it before it sails to Maine for some reason...


Clear your vision and then visit findthetruth.com...kinda like a Chick Tracts sighting...

Between my house and the liquor store, Mpls

Here's our repair job on a broken pane of glass, looks a little ghetto, but duct tape is always the answer...


Behind the Rainbow I hit the jackpot! This line of carts was pretty random and there was a ton of tags including a '27' sighting (my current fav amongst local street artists). I got a pic of a piece by Cute Crimes Crew, too, but didn't put that up here, sorry.




I thought this was a pretty interesting sticker...


And this whole thing was great: rust, tags, stickers. Awesome!

Cedar-Riverside, Mpls

Definitely one of my favorite neighborhoods anywhere, right next to Augsburg College and the U's West Bank if you aren't quite sure where it is. It's a great mix of old hippies and African immigrants, which makes for a lot of good places to eat and some great stores like Mayday Books, Global Village, North Country Co-op, the Red Sea, and the Hard Times Cafe.

Cedar-Riverside is also one of the best live music neighborhoods in the world with places like the 400 Bar, the Triple Rock, the Red Sea (see above), the Cabooze, and the Nomad. I know most of the other bars also have smaller stages with live music a couple nights a week. New York is the only city with more live music venues per capita and this is the heart of the local scene.

Since my school is right here, I'm sure I'll add more from Cedar-Riverside in the future...
