The daily digest of Twin Cities culture | Secrets of the City

One of my favorite scenic runs is along the stone arch bridge/west bank/mill ruins corridor--mostly because I so love seeing the Mill City Museum from this vantage. Same goes for the new Guthrie. But it's truer of Mill City, or at least it has been for the past several years. The building is especially beautiful!

Today there are two opportunities to give mad love to Mill City--other than running. First, the, ahem, Hopefuls are throwing a concert in the ruins courtyard... again. (Nevermind my cynicism. These concerts have been quite lovely.) Two, for the more wonky types, Thomas Meyer, the architectural mastermind of MS&R, the firm responsible for the Mill City Museum development, will be in-conversation with another architecture Tom--Thomas Fischer, dean of U of M college of architecture, at the Walker Art Center.
