After spending a wonderful few days in New York City, the scene out the plane window above Minneapolis made me question my residential choice. Just for a second.

Streets of New York
The sights, sounds and people of New York are day 341 of Photo 365.
Rainy New York
It was drippy in New York on day 340 of Photo 365.
Pinhole NYC
The tree outside The New York Palace Hotel provided a great old timey leading line into Top of the Rock and St. Patrick’s Cathedral on day 339 of Photo 365.
The sledders
The first major snow of the season fell today, causing traffic jams and reinforcing that salt stain on the tip of my boots from last season. It also brought out the kid in two older gentlemen who constructed these happy sledders above a Lowertown sidewalk on day 338 of Photo 365.
The up and comer
One of my favorite up and coming artists is Adetomiwa Gbadebo, a young painter originally from Abeokuta, Nigeria who now calls Saint Paul home. His passionate inspiration comes from art, love, justice, peace and all things that man can do to rise above.
In this series Adetomiwa chose to use black as his predominate color because to him, black is beautiful, and he hoped that by using it, people would no longer be afraid of what the color can signify in American society.

Usher
The ushers at the Minnesota Wild games are almost always more than nice to the fans. They can also talk hockey with the best of them when you’re waiting for a whistle.
This is day 336 of Photo 365.
38th and Hiawatha
Light Rail is one of my favorite things about Minneapolis. In 2014, it will fly through the stations of Saint Paul, and I can’t wait.
This is day 335 of Photo 365. The 30 day countdown until year end is on!
Underground skyway
My favorite underground skyway from Xcel Energy Center to Rice Park is day 334 of Photo 365.
The Replacements
On the Friday after Thanksgiving, First Avenue and 7th Street Entry host The Replacements Tribute show, which husband and I try to attend every year. It’s gotten to the point where we see old friends that we only run into at this event. The music is local and tight, and the group that goes on last always plays the theme album of the night. Tonight was special for me because the evening was in honor of Hootenanny, the album that holds the first Replacements tune I ever heard. We danced with friends we hadn’t seen since the last ‘Mats tribute and reveled in the greatness of the music.
