The Abandoned Fairgrounds

While I was staying with Tyson and Shira, Tyson and I had a neat commute to the university. We had to cross "The Abandoned Fairgrounds." Woo-ooo-ooo-ooo . . .

Apparently, Minnesota has an awesome State Fair. If you Google "State Fair," the Minnesota State Fair is the top hit! I'm sure the place is bustling during the fair, as in this pic.


However, in the winter the fairgrounds are totally deserted. As Tyson said, "It's like walking through an empty movie lot." Anyway, I really enjoyed that commute; it was very surreal and peaceful.

Here's an entrance to the fairgrounds. It looks imposing, but the gate is still open . . . (Don't worry; it's legal. :-)
