The Precast Parthenon is now surrounded by an ugly chain-link fence, which is never a good sign. What's to become of what is now known as 20 Washington? It's been empty for several years. How about turning it into a Prince museum? Those white columns would look great bathed in purple light.

Sad to hear that Neiman Marcus is closing its flagship store in downtown Dallas, a retail destination since 1914. Goodbye, Zodiac Room, one of the country's great department store restaurants.

Joann is closing stores in Woodbury, Maple Grove, Coon Rapids, Apple Valley, Elk River and Shakopee, part of a bankruptcy reorganization. Shrugs ensue. If the company was closing a downtown Mpls store, the torches-and-pitchforks crowd would be no doubt be shouting "DFL leadership!" "crime!" "DEI!"

My Breakfast Sandwich Obsession continues: Head over heels over the bacon-egg-cheese at Black Duck in northeast Minneapolis. Excellent focaccia (from Patisserie 46) and bacon (via Peterson Craft Meats). Can't believe that it's just $10. Only downer: It's reserved for weekend (Sat-Sun) brunch.

I've never seen these wax-dipped bulbs before. Amazing. And, beautiful. Just what I needed on this frigid January day.

Pre-refrigerator days on the Mississippi: Chopping ice near St. Anthony Falls, 1899. Brrrrrrr.

Missing this view (circa 2012) from the Skyroom at The Store Formerly Known As Dayton's. Missing the Skyroom. Missing Dayton's.
