Twin City Photos

‘The Lakes’ are one of the jewels of the Twin Cities area. Comprised of Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun, and Lake Harriet, they provide swimming beaches, sailing, fishing, band shell, picnic areas, trolley rides, and parks, practically in the middle of town. Surrounded by walk and bike paths, this area is very popular with residents and visitors alike. It also features some of the more interesting homes in town, many of them stylish and unique, some of them a bit retro. This one is from the eastern side of Lake of the Isles.
