This is the second skyway built in Mpls. You can see a little wear and tear from its 48 years of weathering the extremes here. The floor is terrazo, like a high school hallway from the era. The heat is piped into steam or hot water lines. I feel a certain affection for the old guy. He was built just as I was discovering downtown on my own, riding the Hennepin Bus line down from the Crystal Shopping Center on Saturdays to spend my allowance on Sci Fi books and magazines from Shinders.
