Hello all,
It has been an exciting day. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures. My girlfriend, Lauren of lmcollegelife.blogspot.com fame, and I ran some errands in the St. Louis Park/Hopkins area. We took Highway 100, and I did some research on the road before we left. I learned that Highway 100 used to be a beltway (a.k.a. loop) around the Twin Cities. There used to be 6 parks specifically built next to the historic highway, but today only 2 remain. We were able to spot one off of HWY 100 and HWY 7. This summer I'll head down there with the camera and take a few pictures for the blog. Back to the errands. We shopped briefly at a busy COSTCO, picked up Lauren's computer from her step-dad's liquor store and then made a stop at New Hope's Unique Thrift Store. We came away with a LARGE cherry pie, a few sample drinks, slightly used children's books and a nice American flag. That's all for now.

Wow! I would like to know which parks still remain along Highway 100. Do you think you could research this for me? I think the one you drove by is French Lake. You played there and swam in the lake when you were younger.

ReplyDeleteThe park at HWY 100 and HWY 7 is called Lilac Park. It was formerly named St. Louis Park Roadside Park. The other remaining park is in Robbinsdale and goes by the name of Robb Graeser Park. There's a slight movement to restore the parks, but they don't seem to be getting anywhere. I'll have some more info on this when I visit the parks in the summer and/or spring.
