          | In this scene, as well as in many of the other downtown images 
		in this series, the city's Skyway system is much in evidence.  
		Pedestrians traveling between many of the major public and commercial buildings can  
		complete their route above-ground, with all street crossings and 
		passages  protected from the 
		elements. 
 There are shops in many of the buildings along 
		these indoor corridors.   It's a well-used network, particularly 
		when the Minneapolis weather turns less than pleasant.
