From 1977 to 1979, I lived in the building that the photographer had to have been standing in front of in order to take this photograph. Even during that time, Burch Pharmacy was on the corner (it still had counter service, then). The site of Nokomis Cleaners was then a branch of the U.S. Post Office; Nokomis Cleaners was next door.
Needless to say, this photo brought back many memories!

The year is 2004... First of all the purple car is parked illegally, he would be towed right away. Secondly, this area is extremely dangerous with the amount of traffic that funnels through everyday and sports cars which seem to think the turn from Hennepin onto Franklin is like their own speedway. The sidewalk is appallingly small and in winter there is almost no room to walk or stand to wait for the bus. The condition of the curb is also appaling and is in serious need of resurfacing as well as the road itself which is designed poorly. I would recommend to the city to simply take out parking in front of this building, extend the sidewalk by a foot, and simply accomodate 15-minute waiting deliveries or moving, etc. We don't live in 1970 or 1900, this area is in serious need of redeveloping to accomodate the influx which is tearing Uptown slowly apart not to mention SUVs which are increasing the destruction of these simple roads and endangering lives of this area.

Appalling? C'mon.

Just left of Burch, on 3rd floor (front) of building, occurred the most bizarre moments of my brief (2.3 yrs.) stay at Kenwood.
Gross, non-idiomatic nuances of plagiaristic styles were exhibited after 10 pm, in flagrant delight of the evening's rapture. Even those present and assembled would not condone the outings, which oft lasted 'til dawn.
"Superbo" was shouted with gusto!
"Again! Again!"
