Noteworthy Parking Lots of Minneapolis II: The Return, this Saturday at 2pm

It's been four years since the last Parking Lots of Minneapolis tour, and some things have changed while other things have not. So I think it's time, while the asphalt is still warm, to go out and take another look at some of the finest and most notable parking lots in the great city of Minneapolis.

We'll be biking around about 5 miles in total, retracing the route from last time (with one minor modification) to see what has changed and how the parking lots are faring in today's modern world.

So if you missed the first epic Noteworthy Parking Lots of Minneapolis tour, or you want to see what's become of the city's most interesting parking lots, come along for a lovely bike ride and check it out.

Naturally, we'll be starting at the Lake Street K Mart, and ending in Northeast Bank Parking Lot Park. The lots in between are also compelling and you'll learn a lot about the history of Minneapolis through the stories of these parking lots.

See you then!

(There will be Coen Brothers references.)
