Yesterday our son picked us up for an adventure to our bigger sister city. The local library has museum passes that can be checked out and used to gain free admission to many local sites. We chose the Foshay Tower. Thirty stories up to the viewing platform and a spectacular view of the metro area. I love elevators in old buildings and the attention to design. The elevators in our own building (although plain and simple looking) are your 5 minute chance to get to know your neighbors. It must be what speed dating is like....get as much information in a short period of time....comment on the new haircut, how's your kitchen remodeling going, was it busy at the farmer's market...that sort of thing. If we ever get stuck in the elevator, I hope it will be with neighbors who are bringing home pizza and beer.
Yeah, your son gave me an enthusiastic recap of the Foshay tower excursion, along with some extra tidbits he's researched since. Now he wants to take me to the top of it. Yay, I can't wait!
