I’m intrigued by the pioneers statue at Boom Island Park.
The statue is a reminder that there are many people have greater problems and challenges than I do. It also reminds me that I have opportunities which others don’t have and that there is no excuse not be great. I think it’s time to get an inspirational poster and an Oprah bob. Hallaleu.
It is also a reminder that the history is subjective; I suspect Minneapolis’ Native Americans would have opted for a different version of the relief on the back of the statue.
