The Minneapolis Skyway: A Love Story

Anyone who’s every spoken to me for more than seven minutes knows that I reap the same warm, comforting feelings from the Minneapolis Skyway system as most people would experience on a quiet, tropical beach. Moving into a Skyway-connected building instantly transformed my outlook on Minnesota winters – in that winter was no longer my problem.

As such, I hatched this tribute video. [If you can't see the video, click here]

I had a lot of help making this video. Foremost thanks goes to Kaeti Hinck, who probably spent more time working on this thing than I did, and whose directing, editing and creative input significantly affected its overall awesomeness. Thanks also goes to actors Rachel Hunsinger and Jill Wigert.

StumbleUpon It!

Shauna Younge Dessert Tables - Minneapolis

The Skyway is great, but nothing beats the Gopher Way. If you haven’t tried to navigate the system of underground tunnels and skyways on the U of M campus, then you don’t know what you’re missing. Some take you through labs and offices, some take you through garages.

Hi Shauna – I’m actually a U of M alum. I fondly remember the underground tunnels on both the east and west banks. Very disorganized, but handy.
