I was created by Cameron Gainer, a visual and installation artist. ■ I debuted as an Art in the Park project in Brooklyn, NY, where I was installed in the Salt Marsh Nature Preserve. (Yum!) ■ I first came to Minneapolis in 2009, on loan to the Minneapolis Parks Foundation from Gainer. ■ My “forever family” – the Parks Foundation – embraced me in 2010. ■ In 2010, my friends and fans chose my nickname, “Minne, the Lake Creature.” Minne means water in Dakota. I love it! ■ I’m made of fiberglass and aluminum and a wee bit of whimsy. ■ I’m a graceful 13' tall. I’m also 6' wide and 11' long. Just right for a lake creature! Preferred Habitat ■ Minneapolis has 17 lakes and ponds, but only nine have my kind of habitat. I consider things like depth, current, and type of lakebed when choosing possible lake homes. ■ From 2009 to 2011, I visited as many as four lakes in a season. Whew! ■ Since 2012, I make one lake my summer-long home, because of environmental factors and relocation costs.

  • Minneapolis, Minnesota Minneapolis Waters: Elizabeth Umbanhowar Life of the City
    Minneapolis, Minnesota Minneapolis Waters: Elizabeth Umbanhowar Life of the City Lake Harriet Source: Photopixels.com “In all my life, I never saw or dreamed of so beautiful a sight as the rolling prairies. Nothing can equal the surpassing beauty of the rounded swells and the sunny hollows, the brilliant green of the grass, the number less varieties and splendid hues of multitudes of flowers. I gazed in admiration too strong for words.” (Ellen Big- elow, 1835, in Sullivan, p.14) The Minneapolis Park system has been held up as a paragon of design innovation, community involvement and administrative efficacy by users and professionals alike. In a land of 10,000 waters, Minneapolis is bejewelled with a ring of streams, rivers and over 20 lakes, including lakes Brownie, Calhoun, Cedar, Diamond, Harriet, Hiawatha, Mother, Nokomis, Sweeney, Twin, Wirth and host of smaller “puddles”. Although pres- ently faced with budget shortfalls, Minneapolis parks and open spaces continue to enjoy ongoing public support and heavy use by residents and visitors alike. Conceived in the early 1880s by a forward-thinking board of trade, the Minneapolis park system was established by legislative mandate in 1883. The Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board (MPRB) system retains much of its original character, including an independently elected park board, as well as the authority to levy taxes. As Alexan- der Garvin notes, “...Minneapolis park officials [have] more autonomy and accountabil- ity than their peers in every other big city in the country.” The first board hired Horace W.S. Cleveland, a landscape architect and protégé of city planner Frederick Law Olmsted, whose work included New York’s Prospect Park and Chicago’s South Park Commission.

Fitzgerald, hat in hand and coat over his arm, stands on a small base MOIRA F. HARRIS at the northeast corner of the park. As Keillor noted, it was the right spot: “The library is there, the St. Paul Hotel is there, the (Ordway) theater is there. These were three great, constant loves in Fitzgerald’s life.

Executive Summary In 1992, residents of the Longfellow, Cooper, Howe and Hiawatha came together to lay the groundwork for a coordinated effort to strengthen and reinvigorate Greater Longfellow, the community which incorporates the four neighborhoods. Under the auspices of the Longfellow Community Council (LCC), the four neighborhoods submitted an application to participate in the newly established Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP). When Longfellow was selected for inclusion in the NRP in August 1992, its community, with a population of more than 21,000 was – and still is – the largest NRP area in the City. In 1993, Longfellow initiated its first pilot NRP project --- a low interest home improvement program targeted at homeowners in the western end of the community. That same year, LCC developed a participation agreement that specified how its community would proceed with the preparation of its NRP action plan.

Zellie M.A., M.S., Principal Investigator Amy M. Lucas M.S. Landscape Research LLC 1466 Hythe Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 2009 This page intentionally left blank Management Summary In 2007, Hennepin County (HCWT) contracted with Landscape Research LLC to conduct a cultural resources study for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Corridor in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. This project is a component of the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Community Works Strategic Development Framework. The study area was defined by Hennepin County (Fig.1). It extends from 28th Street at the north to E. Minnehaha Parkway at the south, and includes the first tier of properties along the east side of Minnehaha Avenue. The project area extends across Snelling and Dight (Railroad) Avenues and includes properties along the east side of Hiawatha Avenue. The cultural resources study has two parts. The first provides a land use history for the project area, beginning with the development of the territorial road and rail corridor in the mid-19th century and extending through the 20th-century development of industry and housing. The land use history will provide information for Hennepin County planners and community stakeholders involved in future planning for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha corridor.
