We talk a lot about transportation and transit here at streets.mn. Trains are ever and always in the mix, what with Hiawatha and Central Corridor Light Rail, Northstar Commuter and Amtrak in late-stage construction or in operation — and with other lines under consideration.

Body Worlds is back at the Science Museum, after first appearing in 2006. For those unfamiliar with the concept, Body Worlds is an exhibit of real human bodies that have been preserved through plastination, a process that takes about 1500 work hours (over about a year) per body. Some say this is ghoulish; I think it's a beautiful look at the inner workings of the human body.

Recently I spent a most enjoyable evening at the Science Museum. You know what was especially fun?
