Lake Phalen.
Used to bike or walk here almost every day, a long long time ago..
I think you might need a chainsaw to cut a hole if you plan on swimming this early.

57 Benches
Benches and lights Downtown Saint Paul, between Wabasha and Robert Street on Kellogg Blvd.
I wanted to get the lights before they turn them off for the year, but maybe they don’t turn them off anymore..

The last time I was in the Orpheum was for a Slayer show… a long time ago…

39 Discount
Last winter during a snowstorm, since traffic wasn’t moving, I stopped in a pawn shop on my way home.
They had a snow blower marked down $420 off… I asked if that was correct or if the tag was for something else…. He explained to me that “it used to run, but now it doesn’t” and that it would be sold “as is, no returns”..
I figured chances were good I could bring it back to life, so I bought it.
Loaded the thing up and dragged it though the snow to the garage, put some gas in it, primed it a few times and gave it a pull…
It started first pull, and I did the entire driveway and street without a hiccup.
Sometimes you get lucky…

38 Sun Ray
The Sun Ray Shopping Center sign.
No sign of sun rays, but the pattern the falling snow made is pretty neat.
Sunday night snow makes for Monday morning driving fun…

37 Icicles
Here are some icicles right over our entry door..
I had to break some off for safety reasons, one of them is about 4 feet long (not pictured)
I know one of my spring projects is gutters…

33 One Lane Road
On 4th Street, Lowertown Saint Paul, just east of the Gillette building.
There is a pretty cool bike trail here that RAW and I rode once all the way up to Lake Phalen.

32 Great Bear
Great Bear Center on South Lyndale, in the snow.
Always thought this was a cool old looking sign.
