Here’s a fun video, via Kottke, about some strange geographic alignment perceptions having to do with the United States. It includes a shoutout to Minneapolis, which is at roughly the same latitude as Venice, Italy.
Here’s the vid:
The latitudinal alignment should not come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to streets.mn’s downtown Minneapolis’ Venetian canal proposal, and subsequent heated debate:
Skyways and flooded streets with Gondolas in Minneapolis.
Enjoy the video!
Not quite up to Venetian canal waterways, but better than the other Venice in Southern California. To add a real old time feature here is for the gondoliers to sing Whoopee John polka songs.
and better than the Venice in Las Vegas…
