The Donut Cooperative: Seward’s cozy neighborhood donut shop
|
This week I photographed at my cozy neighborhood donut shop, The Donut Cooperative. We’re lucky to have them at the end of our block. so we feel like they are “ours.” Sometimes when I wake up and have trouble falling back asleep and it’s after 3 a.m., I think about how they’re already making donuts just down the street.

Fun City Dogs: Photos of pups at play in Minneapolis’s Seward neighborhood

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing at Fun City Dogs, a Seward-based doggie daycare. So many gorgeous dogs! What a fun place. I was heartily greeted by much barking and licking.

The farm is an urban CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Continue Reading

Last week I visited Zipps Liquors on Franklin, owned and run by the same family for 50 (is it 51?) years. Impressive! They’re known for their well-stocked shelves and knowledgeable staff. Thanks, Jennifer, a Continue Reading

As a part of the meeting, we the opportunity to tour some of the businesses housed in the building.

Wood from the Hood

I visited Wood from the Hood this week, a Seward business that reclaims wood from the Twin Cities and makes flooring, cabinetry, furniture, picture frames, cutting boards, etc. They keep track of the zip code the tree comes from, so you can get a cutting board from your very own neighborhood. Cindy and Rick Siewert own the company, a Continue Reading
