Tonight I got to do a wedding at the James J. Hill Library in downtown St. Paul. Generally, I'm not a huge fan of doing "off-site" weddings...they tend to be a lot of work. However, tonight was a little different.First, it was a great couple. Congratulations to Aaron and Kara!
Second, just a few minutes after the tail end of the wedding, we were serenaded by the unbelievably loud screech of the tornado sirens. Storms hit the Twin Cities (again) tonight. But I got to see the most amazing wall cloud I've ever seen...it looked literally like it was "churning" as it went over. We also saw funnel clouds. No tornado, but there was some pretty serious rotation going on.
But the final thing that made it cool was the location. The James J. Hill Reference Library is an amazing place. I've never been there before. But the architecture is absolutely amazing. It was very cool They quite literally could not build facilities like this again...there is no way anyone would/could pay for it.
Giant pillars...towering book stacks...amazing, dungeonlike tunnels down below.
I could spend some serious time wandering around in there.
