So here's my (Heather's) first look at my world. I went with the city route for my first installment.
Anyone who has been to Rochester knows this:
If you haven't been here, those are two of the building that comprise the Mayo Medical Center. (Or, the Mayo Clinic.)
And this:
What? You don't have a giant ear of corn in your city? That's a water tower located at the Libby's plant in downtown Rochester.
This is a mural that I saw every day at lunch when I worked downtown. In fact, I was able to watch them paint it. It's on the back of one of the radio stations. Hence, the radio. Makes sense, n'est-ce pas?
And...the local convent. I'm not sure how many nuns are still around, but we still have a rather large convent on a hill in the middle of the city.
And last, Silver Lake. Or, goose poop central. Home of many, many wintering Canada Geese.
So, that's my city. I showed you mine...now let's see yours.

I will admit that when I came from Manhattan to Rochester MN to buy a house for the duration of his fellowship at Mayo, I cried when I saw the corn tower.
They were not tears of joy.
But I learned my lesson, oh yes I did.
Several nuns must still be there, I almost got to do my nursing assistant clinical there. There garden also is across the street from where I work, I see a couple of them out working during the summer.
This is such a fun idea :)
I'll have to get some pictures up in the next few days!
I LOVE that water tower.
What a beautiful place to live!
Great idea!
