Saint Anthony Park
On the Northwest corner of Saint Paul in between Highway 280
and Cleveland Avenue lays my neighborhood.
Busy during the day, quiet at night, there is really no need
for the rare patrol car.
Hockey creates a community here.
From pickup games at Langford Park during the winter to
intense rivalries between Como and Highland,
The stage is always set.
After cold days on the rink one can always walk down Como
Avenue, and find whatever they need.
The neighborhood coffee shop, café, market, bank, and both
gas stations all make their home on Como.
Walking up the hill on Bourne you reach the highest natural
point in the neighborhood.
Here you can find a beautiful overlook of downtown
Minneapolis,
Where skyscrapers pierce the red horizon.
I really like the last three lines. It gives me a clear vision of how that downtown Minneapolis scene looks. You live in St. Paul, but your ability to see the "big" city is really cool and I think you described it well.
