South of Hwy. 36 and 35W, East of Hwy. 280. 8 blocks East of Minneapolis, 5 blocks North of St. Paul. A fraction of a second off the 45th Parallel, sandwiched between two golf courses, and exactly 11.5 minutes from a very nice windsurfing lake (Lake Calhoun).

In addition, we're not far from the #61 Bus line. Scenic route: walking North from Cleveland and Larpenteur, sites of interest include the Gibbs Farm Museum and Historic Community Garden, the UofM Ag-Dept. Fields, and the Falcon Heights mini prairie recreation.

Be sure to stop at the US Geological Survey marker, just North of Roselawn on Cleveland on the East side of the street. As we're just a fraction of a second off the 45th Parallel, how often do you get to be so sure about where you are? Pre bridge collapse map showing bus routes and sites of interest...
