During our 6 year hiatus from Minneapolis, a few things have changed. Now Minneapolis is a hip city, and everywhere you look there are condos going up. Some of the more questionable parts of the city are now being gentrified by the condo industry. Other areas that had great landmarks are also being cleaned up and revitalized. One such area is the historic mills and Gold Medal Flour warehouse area along the Mississippi River. There is now a museum, park, farmers market and the new Guthrie Theater; called "a 21st century dream factory" by Time Magazine. One of the signature features of the new Guthrie, the cantilevered lobby known as the "Endless Bridge" is an observatory for the Mississippi River falls and landscape, providing great views during diaper changes. The Guthrie also has all sorts of shiny new surfaces to entertain little children with. (Photos by Brian Jolley)
