Flour power


Greetings from a new place, well, new to me - Minneapolis. Two of my dearest friends have just moved there. A city on the northern Mississippi River, it became the world's milling capital in the later 19th century. I have a few days to explore it with my friends, which started with a walk to the Mill City Museum, located behind the dramatic shell of a huge mill which was closed down in the 1960s and burned down in 1991, and next to the new Guthrie Theater, part of a vibrant new culture district.
The regulated falls aren't beautiful... no, water's always beautiful!
