A view of the Saint Paul Hotel with some other larger building behind. A very snazzy place. But then, there are a lot of these places in downtown Saint Paul with some space to set them off as well. We were both impressed.
A dapper musician named Jim who plays the tenor sax, and played some very nice solos on "Night and Day." He sits right in front of Hymie's Haberdashery just behind the Saint Paul Hotel. Are those shoes still available for sale? We used to call them "co-respondent" shoes. I'm not sure the white socks are right but maybe they are OK for summer.
Ordway Center for the Performing Arts where Rent was playing on Sunday afternoon. That is the Saint Paul Hotel reflected in the windows. The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra plays here.
An interior shot at The Saint Paul Hotel. Lots of stuff goes on here. I think they had three wedding receptions going on Saturday.
An old-fashioned barbershop attached to Hymie's Haberdashery. This customer was being shaved with a straight razor. Maybe there was a time warp but that is my wife of today standing and looking around so I think it really is the present time.
The new Guthrie Theatre in downtown Minneapolis. We saw a version of MidSummer Night's Dream by a wiseacre Bill Shakspere. There is something going on here all year long. Unusual architecture, hard to capture in a single picture.
