(14-Sep-07) I begin this weekend without any concept of what Dinkytown really is. I know that people talk about "Dinkytown" and going for drinks, but that's about the extent of my knowledge. I check a map each day before leaving my house for campus, due to my poor memory. I use street and avenue numbers to "count" my way home, not recealling the buildings I pass each day. Learning the history would take a lot of repetition, so cut-paste procedures won't "teach me" about Dinkytown. I would need something I could read several times over a number of months.

 

I don't know most neighborhood names in the Twin Cities. I still struggle to understand the organization of communities, cities, and counties in Minneapolis. My wife and I will likely drive to the area so I can see it. We might also take some photos so I can associate them with the actual place. Any images I retrieve from the Web won't be meaningful if I cannot see the place in the physical world. Then again, time being a limitation could result in little more than cut-paste-forget. That would be a shame.
