Welcome to my site on the major
buildings of downtown Minneapolis. I created
this site with two goals in mind:
1. I want to provide large, varied, and unique high-resolution
photographs of the buildings. Unfortunately, this causes long
download times, unless you are fortunate enough to have broadband
access. It should be tolerable with 56k. If you're using 28.8, get
a book or a newspaper to read while the pictures load. Currently, each building page contains two
to four images. After those are finished loading, you may click on
any image to immediately see it full-size. |

2. Since this is a personal web page, you
will get my opinions. I readily admit that I have no formal
qualifications whatsoever to judge the aesthetics of any work of
architecture. I do, however, care deeply for my hometown, and I
would like to use this forum to tip my hat to those who have made it one
of the most beautiful cities in the world, as well as to scold those who
have thoughtlessly blighted our urban landscape with towering
eyesores. I will also comment on the function of the buildings
from my experience as a delivery guy. Did the designers remember
me when they created these towers? Or were they just trying to
please executives and bean-counters? Surf on to find out. |
