Where Do We Go? Where do we go from here? wos o common question for Islonders with o few hours to spore. Some options were within walking distance. The new $050 mil. City Center completed in 1980 wos o favorite attraction. The 80 shops kept everyone well dressed, entertained ond nourished (?). while the skyways kept everyone mobile and worm in the below zero weather. An 8 block walk to the Metrodome could have been to see the Vikings, Twins or Gophers win a gome or ro earn money. Many of the school's clubs earned money distributing odvertisments outside the Dome. Who said moking money wosn'r fun? For the more studious o trip ro the Public Library wos common. Bur sooner or later everyone ended up there to do the lost minute” assignment given three weeks before. In another direction a trek to Northeast Minneapolis would take one to Sr. Anthony Main, a former warehouse. Renovated in 1977 it is filled with different shops ond eateries. Its new ice rink wos a plus for those who enjoyed cold weather. 8 Feorure
