Linden Hills is a residential neighborhood in
southwest Minneapolis. The name comes from the Linden
tree and area's gentle hills. It was originally a
popular suburb of a younger Minneapolis,
made possible by the trolley route linking
it with downtown.
It is bordered on the east by Lake Harriet, which along with Lake Calhoun and Lakewood Cemetery to the north reduce automobile through-traffic. There are also traffic calming measures on some streets. There is a picturesque business district at 43rd and Upton,
and other shops along 44th Street.
Because I lived in Linden Hills myself, this is
the area I have taken the most photos of (other than downtown Minneapolis)
