I admit, I only cruise the Midtown Greenway when something fun is going on – but I’m not a biker and I don’t live in Minneapolis. So I’m glad that I get a chance to check it out every now and again. Last night we popped in for the Greenway Glow.
It’s a festival from 7 pm to midnight on the Greenway, which is a rehabbed train track intended for bikers and walkers. (I’m going to say mostly bikers.) There were 20 or so stops I made it to a few:
Big Bubble
You walk through. Someone said it was like being born again. Maybe but a lot dustier with way more static cling!
What Makes a Heart Grow
Poetry on the outside – Life Jeanie’s bottle on the inside!!
Flamenco Dancing
Hot Metal Pour
Seemed very cool and kind of dangerous
Reactionary Cubes
Rainbow Generator
Ghost Pictures
I’ll have to add that picture later – it was an opportunity for us to create slow motion light-up photographs, which was pretty cool.
As intended I left feeling like I should make more of an effort to walk or run the Greenway. I’m just a little suspect of the walking friendliness of a trail that really is unabashedly bikers first.
