Dinkytown is a retail district next to the U of M
Minneapolis campus in Southeast Minneapolis. It is just
across University Avenue from the east bank campus.
It's been around 80 years or more, as the campus is
well over 100 years old. It's part of the
University community, with coffee shops, a stationer,
three bookstores, a travel agency, a bank, and a dozen
various restaurants and bars. It's surrounded by fraternities
and student housing, as well as a residential neighborhood
and University facilities(like Bearman field and U parking lots).
Stadium Village is a similar, slightly smaller district
to the east, on the other side of the campus, but I don't have
pictures of it yet. It's name comes from Memorial Stadium,
which was demolished a few years ago. A new building on that
site resembles a stealth bomber.
