I was up in the Shingle Creek neighborhood of Minneapolis for a 7 mile or so run on Saturday. The homes above are pretty representative of what’s in Shingle Creek. They went up in the 1950′s, making it one of the youngest communities in the city. Cool neighborhood sign. The southern border of Shingle Creek [...]
Earlier this week, Laura Davis left a comment suggesting that I was being a big meanie by picking on college student, Ryan Lyk, over the weakness of his writing.
