Traffic can be a pain, so best find a location within several miles of downtown on transit (bus or hiawatha lrt) lines.


This is Nicollet Mall viewed from overhead between Marshall Fields and the IDS Tower. The intersection in the background is 8th Street, with the US Bancorp Center on the other side of the street.


This is Loring Lake (in Loring Park) during the Pride Festival.


You are standing on West Franklin Avenue looking west at the intersection with Hennepin Avenue South. The Burch Pharmacy is on the right, Nokomis Cleaners is on the left. The number 2 bus goes down Franklin from here to 24th street. Buses on Hennepin go downtown(north, to the right) and to Uptown, Southdale, and St.Louis Park(south, to the left).


You are at Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue South, the crossroads of "Uptown". This view is looking north up Hennepin Avenue. Calhoun Square is behind you.
