[edit] Pictures

I'd like to take some photos for this article, but I'm not sure where to get a good shot that would typify Bloomington. Any suggestions..? All I've got so far is views from the top of the Mall of America parking ramp or from the Cedar Avenue bridge. --Patteroast 22:25, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

1. Facing west from western Mendota Heights along 494.

2. 106th Street Bridge over the creek.

3. Facing north across Normandale Lake at 8x00 towers.

[edit] Old Town Hall

Bloomington Briefing June 2004 Bloomington Briefing October 2004 Bloomington Briefing August 2003

The 1892 building still stands (at least it did the last time I drove past it). The 1964 building was demolished and they're building condos there. The 2003 building is the sprawling structure with the blue roof. Of course, I've been wrong before. On a daily basis. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 04:42, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Maybe I just don't know which building is which, lol. I know the condos are being built where the old city hall used to be; I live next door to it. But I'm not sure if there's an 1800s "town hall" nearby. There's a building across from Oak Grove Church (Gideon Pond), but I thought that was just a museum.--Stonesour025 07:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

The museum is in fact the old town hall. Check out [1]
