Winter Housing and Highway Corridor along I-94, Minneapolis

Winter Housing and Highway Corridor along I-94, Minneapolis

December 2022 — This view looks across the residential neighborhoods bordering Interstate 94 in Minneapolis, an area shaped heavily by mid-20th-century highway construction. When I-94 was built between the 1950s and early 1970s, it cut through several established communities—including parts of Cedar-Riverside, Seward, and Phillips—reshaping street grids, housing patterns, and long-standing cultural districts. The snow-covered homes clustered above the highway reflect a mix of older housing stock and later infill development that emerged after the corridor was completed. The elevated ramps and interchanges shown here connect local streets to one of the region’s primary east–west routes, linking downtown Minneapolis with St. Paul and the wider interstate system.

Neighborhood Free-Stuff Cabinet in Winter

Neighborhood Free-Stuff Cabinet in Winter

November 2021 — A small handmade “Free Stuff Inside” cabinet sits beside a picket fence in a residential Minneapolis neighborhood, offering passersby clothing, household items, and other essentials at no cost. These volunteer-maintained boxes—modeled loosely after Little Free Pantries and similar mutual-aid projects—became common across the city in recent years as neighbors looked for practical ways to support one another. This particular cabinet shows signs of winter use, with a thin layer of snow on the ground and along the fence, emphasizing the year-round effort by residents to keep shared resources accessible. The rise of these informal exchange boxes reflects a broader culture of grassroots support systems that grew during the pandemic and the 2020 unrest. Neighbors created hyper-local networks for food, winter gear, and daily necessities, often improvising with whatever materials they had. Even a small cabinet like this served as a reliable touchpoint for people needing gloves, toiletries, or household supplies, helping strengthen the sense of community resilience in the city’s residential blocks.
