Saturday marked the re-opening of the Metrodome, with a portion of the event aimed at thanking tornado volunteers and building community. I was one of the first 3,000 people to enter, and so I received a commemorative piece of the previous teflon roof that collapsed in last winter's snowmaggedon. I took a roundabout way to get to the Dome, in order to bike along the final segment of the Cedar Lake Trail. That particular connection to the Mississippi River cost $9.2 million and took over 11 years to complete. A similar, more ambitious, connection in NoMi could take even longer to build. That's no reason to get rid of the proposal entirely, as some groups are recommending.
The Cedar Lake connection to the Mississippi River is quite the sight though...
