Easter Sunday

Happy Easter to all who celebrate.

Spring Training

It's almost here, hopefully our weather warms above freezing temps for the first game this year.

The Road To Summer

I needed to see a summer sunset on my blog. We have a winter that's not going away, maybe this will help.

State Theater

This is one of my favorite marquees in the Twin Cities. The State Theatre opened in 1921 and was one of the more elaborate theatres for it's time. It was restored and reopened in 1991. I've been inside only a few times and I must say, the insides are quite stunning. It is a thing of beauty and thank goodness they preserved this building as Minneapolis has a history of demolishing historic builds.

Pantages Theater

Built in 1916 and operated for quite some time, it was closed in 1984. The theater was renovated by the city of Minneapolis in 2002 and reopened. In 2005, the city transferred ownership of its theaters to the Hennepin Theatre Trust.

Final Four Bracket

Super Stars

More stars from First Avenue Nightclub.

Thank You

I'm unsure how much was donated, but there was a handshake with a thank you after the donation to the bucket.

City Scape

It's nothing complex, but it's very colorful and fun.

Music Stars

A close up of some of the musical acts that have played at First Avenue. Of all of the stars listed in the photo, I've seen three of the bands here at First Ave. It is one of my personal favorite places to see a concert in the Twin Cities.
