They Might be Bankers, but They Have a Nice Buidling

I bank with Wells Fargo, which basically means I don't really like them that much in general.

I like my banker a lot. His name is Ryan and he looks like my brother, which makes me trust him a pretty easily. He's like three years younger than me, though, so that freaks me out a little bit. Other than that though - Wells Fargo are not my favorite people. I'm sure this would be true of my bank no matter who I banked with because I'm just the kind of person who never especially enjoys authority figures like banks and such.

Regardless of all that, I walk through Wells Fargo Center everyday on my way to and from work. One thing I will say for downtown Minneapolis - those skyways are brilliant. I happen to live on right on a bus line that runs from downtown St. Paul to downtown Minneapolis that I catch about halfway in between. The only bad part is that the bus drops me off - oh - 10 blocks or so from the office. Which does make for a bit of a hike twice a day.

My bus stop is about two blocks past the Wells Fargo Center and right as I walk out of the skyways and on the street this is what I see:

I love that the building gives off enough light that the sky around it is blue instead of black. Every single (work) day I look up at that view and think to myself "wow, that looks amazing." I think that's pretty cool.

Downtown Minneapolis

My current temp job is completely hourly and, obviously, doesn't include holiday pay. So over Christmas and New Years I put in some crazy amounts of hours to try to milk as much pay from this assignment as possible. A couple of nights I was at the office until 8 or later. The nice thing is this city is beautiful at night. There's an empty office right behind my cube that has a great view of the old Minneapolis courthouse. The Pillsbury building/sign and the Hennepin Ave. bridge (which I cross to get to and from work everyday) can also be seen further in the distance.

The old courthouse is one of my favorite buildings of all time. It's just so beautiful and I love having this great view of it everyday. And like I said, the city just gets that much prettier at night.
