Neighborhoods

My name is Tammy Ward and I live in North Minneapolis, in the Harrison Neighborhood. 

I have lived here almost four years and have seen many changes.  Harrison is truly a vibrant and upcoming neighborhood. Change is steadily happening in a positive direction. I decided to show in pictures the eclectic feel of Harrison though murals painted on some of the buildings in the neighborhood.  

With the slow but sure progress we’ve made towards warmer weather, a lot of outdoor activities are finally getting started.

Two deaths, dozens of injuries, hundreds of families displaced, thousands of trees lost and millions of dollars in damage. These numbers only begin to describe the effects of the tornado strike on May 22, 2011. Residents of Jordan, Folwell and Webber-Camden were among those most affected along the tornado’s 3.5-mile path, and it is in these neighborhoods where the storm’s destructiveness remains most evident two years later.
