“A Post for Gary” sounds like the title of a bad 80s-era melodrama, but I want Gary to see this outstanding YouTube find and until I get an email address I’m not sure how to send the link.
One of my Twitter connections (@Panndder) posted a link to “Walk“, a point-of-view walk through parts of early-1980s Minneapolis. You don’t have to be familiar with Minneapolis to enjoy the film. It is quite engaging regardless of the city.
The filmmaker (@geoffoo) creates an almost dreamy, floating tour of the city while a subtle sound track of street sound music rolls in the background. I like to see how much life that I recall being so near and recent has actually changed. Parts of my neighborhood are almost unrecognizable and yet it feels very much a part of my present memories. In some ways it is a bit disconcerting. Thirty years is a long time and many things change.
Take a look!
