2013
Read More"Winter stroll" A family takes a walk with the dog on the newly surfaced pathway around Powderhorn Lake on this crisp winter morning. From the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board website: "The 2011 MPRB Capital Improvement Plan allocated $500,000 for pathway improvements, including lighting and surfacing, in Powderhorn Park. The community engaged in a planning process in the spring of 2012 and the project was available to contractors for bidding in March 2013." Completion was to be the end of November 2013, but there are questions from concerned neighbors about drainage and access, which the board is trying to address. All in all, it seems a welcome improvement, especially with anticipated resolution of some issues.
"According to Plan" After a week of no work our productivity sent us out of the house today with some very successful adventures, none of which went according to plan. This photo is of my photography friend. We were going to try something else tonight and stumbled upon ice skating. Found skates that fit. Had fun. The lake is quite cinematic this time of year. Perfect way to take my last photograph of the year with Powderhorn365.
"Self Portrait, Last Thursday Night" It's been a hard year, but a good one as well. Being part of this project has provided a lot of order for me. I've really appreciated it, thank you everyone for all your time and attention. I look forward to future years of work and play together in this fine neighborhood of ours. - Levi Oftelie
"12-08-13" Robert Falcon, born in New York, raised in Puerto Rico, lives in Minneapolis, stopping at Tacos El Primo taco truck before responding to a heat call at one of the apartments he manages. Says Minnesotans are the best people, and he loves it here, even on a snowy Sunday. It was five degrees above zero and snowing, hope he gets the heat fixed soon. Good idea to fuel up with some tacos before getting down to business.
