I love the video and the poetry. This is a very powerful way to reach out to government officials, neighborhood residents, and others. It is great to see such thoughtful analysis of where we live, work, and play.
ReplyDeleteActually, there are some great cultural and recreational places in the neighborhood. The Minneapolis Institute for the Arts (MIA) is a huge, FREE art museum off of 3rd Ave. Attached to the MIA is a nationally recognized art college, MCAD. On the other side of the MIA, there is a huge open park that hosts many public events including pick up volleyball and art fairs.
