Hi Streets.mn,
Here I am, the other half of Streets.mn’s Flickr page moderation duo, ostentatiously starting the fist of my bi-weekly photo posts with a whole bunch of my own photos! I hope you’ll forgive me – I just thought it might be a nice introduction to me and my sour take on this realm. You see, while Allie provides you with uplifting content like a lush panorama of the Powderhorn 24, I can’t help but play the proverbial devil on your shoulder, reminding you how bad everything actually is. (Probably has something to do with this) So without further ado, here is my first Friday Photo post: 10 strong contenders for worst bus stop in “MSP”, complete with sarcastic remarks!
The warm, inviting glow of a Metrotransit bus stop on an autumn night.
Because let’s face it, cars.
This bus stop was thoughtfully placed right next to a gas station, so you don’t have to get in your car just to pick up a gallon of gas on the weekend.
If you look at this picture carefully, it appears that two identical twins are being mauled by traffic on Lake st. (a logical assumption) But if you look even more carefully, you realize it’s a bus stop.
I tried calling Edina Realty for their evaluation of the Free Market, but there seemed to be some kind of misunderstanding.
How poignant – you could be laid eternally to rest feet from where you were laid out by traffic waiting for your bus. Note the helpful reminder that streetcars used to exist. Also note the additional signage indicating that, yes, believe it or not, buses stop here.
This bus stop is not recommended for persons with lungs.
What is this, a bus stop for trolls?!
At least it’s better than airline food. *Seinfeld bassline*
Nice try, Minneapolis. Kidding.
Well that does it for this Friday, folks. I encourage you all to snap your own pics of bus stops that not even Instagram can purty up. And don’t forget to upload them to the Streets.mn Flickr account! Along with whatever else you deem worthy, of course. Don’t worry – not all my posts will consist of my own stuff, I promise. Stay tuned on future Fridays for some excellent work by other Flickr contributors, and a few special treats.
