• Reading the bas-relief wall of Minnesotans' quotes along the escalator in the Plaza Seven building on 8th Street, such as this from Prince: "Dearly beloved/We are gathered here today/To get through this thing called LIFE." Just what you want to read on the way to work.

• Looking down and across at the spectacular architecture and golden hues of the Westin's Bank restaurant and hotel lobby.

• Crossing Nicollet Mall through the double-wide skyway between the IDS Center and the Baker Building — so very Mary Tyler Moore.
