the grain exchange

Aren't these ceilings lovely? This is in the Minneapolis Grain Exchange downtown, and it has some of the best architectural details, in my opinion. I love the ceilings, and all of the signage in the place is hand painted (usually on glass doors). It's a classic.I was in here today mailing off a package to my Mom's new puppy, Dolly. She's a beagle they picked up in Kentucky this weekend, and they are so excited to have her. I don't have any photos yet, but I'm itching to see some (hint, hint, mom). And speaking of puppies, I'm getting pretty anxious to get our own girl home in a few days. But first, a quick jaunt off to California. My god, do I need a swimming pool and a margarita.
