 Test picture, wanted to see how the light balance would work. |
 Grainy shot of traffic, looking south on Lyndale towards 25th St. |
 Art studio that is not open to the public, as the sign on the door stresses. |
 Spotlight shining on sidewalk, glimpse of my boot. |
 Moxie studio next to Bob's Java Hut, a coffee shop specifically for motorcycle riders and people who want to be seen with motorcycle riders. Above is Uptown Tattoo. |
 All-hours laundrette. Excellent lighting makes for a crisp picture. |
 Sunny-Side Up Cafe: creative breakfast reinventions, extremely casual staff, no-frills environment. You go there to eat and mind your own business, it's great. |
 I had no idea that soccer was so popular around here that it could merit its own high-end retail outlet in the middle of Uptown. |
 New mystical shop, along the lines of Magus Books and Stonehenge. |
 Tropical plant and supply shop. |
 Oh, that's Sherman Electric. Owned by the father of the lead singer of the band of the same name. |
 Salem Lutheran Church, with jazz mass. I'll go out on a limb and say this isn't perhaps a traditional Norwegian congregation. |
 Another Lyndale body shop, who knows which one. Right across from the church. |
 Classic auto restoration garage. I took this picture as a bunch of teens on a field trip walked by, all squawking and goofing off to make me want to get a picture of them. |
 Mural on the side of an art studio/performance stage. I used to go there but I think I'm not cool enough to anymore. |
 3 Muses: they strike me as very female-superior, but it seems they also host jazz performances. I'm almost interested enough to check it out. |
 A selection of odd little boutiques, overlooking the bike path that supplants 29th St. |
 Streetlight by the bikepath - those lines mean I'm far above the path, looking down as it stretches on. |
 What kind of society is this, where wood-carved bears are driven to suck off wood-carved foxes for money... Thanks for everything, President Bush. |
 Heh, this car was all wrong. Headlights left on, one wheel jacked on the curb. I hate yuppies so much. |
 The Herkimer! Home of homebrews and strange little appetizers, and occasionally attractive staff! |
 Because you just can't have too many hats in your life. |
 Fun place to shop: theater companies donate their props and costumes here, so you can find some very unique vintage material. |
 Jungle Theater. Can you believe I've lived in this city for almost eight years and never been there? It's true. |
 Potpourri of Chinese/herbal/New Age/feel good/(insert sense here)therapy merchandise. Living natural, simply, and healthy isn't cheap, friend. |
 What the hell is it with Uptown and Breakfast At Tiffany's!? Did Audrey Hepburn donate a few million to develop half a dozen blocks!? Her picture is everywhere here! |
 Bill's Imported Foods. Mediterranean/Middle Eastern supply shop for foods, condiments, even clothing. You can find some fun, interesting stuff here, and it'll be authentic! |
 Bryant Lake Bowl. All the yuppies in here were resentful my camera wasn't pointed at them. |
 Uh-oh! Some jackoff parked his car right beside the meters, instead of in front or behind, and Officer Vigilant is ticketing the scofflaw! Screw you, taxpayer! |
