Literally Running into Friends: Lake Harriet

Contributed by Carla Alarcon

I like Lake Harriet and the Band Shell and the concerts in the summer. I like it because it's outside, there's a nice walking path, and I usually run into friends. How often do we have sunny days in Minnesota? That is when I go there, probably once a week in the summer. Once I rented rollerblades and never having rollerbladed before, and I went down a hill kinda down by the pavilion and I hit a sidewalk that had buckled. I went to fall and I literally ran into people from my hometown of Aberdeen, South Dakota, that I hadn't seen in twenty years. They caught me from going all the way down. So that was a fun one.
