Going Green (Line)

Opening weekend for the Green Line light rail in St. Paul, MN. Saturday was hideous—driving rain, clouds, high winds, cool temps—but Sunday afternoon the skies cleared and it almost felt like spring again.

Bake sale!

Spotted this guy as I was making a left turn onto University. Stuck the camera out the car window, pointed, fired off a couple shots, tried to stay in my lane. Think it turned out okay. NOT THAT I'M RECOMMENDING A NEW STYLE OF PHOTOGRAPHY HERE.

Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play

Nice chilly day for the Minnesota Twins home opener.

The night time is the right time...

Steppin' out

Shot this a couple months ago on University Avenue but didn't get it posted at the time. The Turf Club has been a St. Paul institution and live-music mecca since the 1940's.

SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!

Now hold on there, cowboy; I know what you're thinking: Alice Cooper is going back on the road and I didn't hear a THING about it?
Well, no. No, no, NO.

You're looking at one of the nice employees at Twin Cities Reptile on University Avenue, holding one of the largest snakes I've ever seen. And there are bigger ones. WAY bigger. I'm just sayin'.
The employees are all knowledgeable and friendly, and the place may very well be the largest reptile store in the entire country.
Just...for the love of all that is holy...don't tap on any of the cages.

Vicious circle

Starting from the back left, Papa Vicious, Curv Vicious, then kneeling in front, Whiplash. Curv owns Roller Revolution on University Avenue in St. Paul, a store specializing in roller derby equipment. They are some of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.

Now trending

The Trend Bar, University Avenue. The gentlemen with the beard is Steve, who tends bar. Look him up; he'll treat you right.
