Day Five

Day four was spent in family stuff, movie, etc, so it is not til today that personal stuff occurred. On Sunday I had a chance to see the Northstar Commuter Rail.


I than to the Light Rail to the Mall of America, that shrine of American Consumerism.

Day 4, St Paul, Part Three

Now is my entry of Railroad watching. The Saint Paul waterfront has this lift bridge. A a barge makes it's way along the river, we see the bridge lift. A remarkable structure.
Finally two Soo line locomotives, working the yard.

Day 4, St Paul, Part Two

Another day brought us to the twin city of Saint Paus. We begin with a side along the river. This bridge is a very attractive structure.
A tub and barge on the river under the bridge and the old factory row beyond the bridge,
And I love sklines.
Two examples of public art: a statue in a park along the river. The secnd is the back wall of a row of store, one of which is Garrison Keilor's Boodstore.

Day 4, St Paul, Part One

Today is a tour of Saint Paul. It is most fitting to begin with the capitol.

Like most Capitol squares, we have memorials 

such as the Wilkins Memorial
Or to Charles Limburg
Or to Hubert Humphrey
World War II Veterans

Vietnam Veterans
Misc. other memorial
