At streetlevel, a view upon Minneapolis's "Riverside Plaza," Ralph Rapson's 1973 masterpiece of skyscraping brutalist architecture.

It would be enough fun to admire the proud towers from back at a distance aways, but I like to get up close and see the ways that the residents etc like to interact with the architecture they call, "home."

The shoppingbuggy is from Target!, and I'll bet anybody everything I've got that it came from the Target over on E Lake Street, a dozen+ blocks away. Was it a young mother that rolled it over here!, filled up with diapers and formula, and did she sing sweetly children's songs to her young!, all the way back to her apartment in the sky. Was it this lady!

As for the mattress I used to have a mattress kind of close to that colour but I kept mine covered up with sheets and bedding etc. I didn't want anybody to know I had a flowered purple mattress!
