I'm at work and just around the corner from where I am are...

2 Hospitals

1 University

What's just around the corner from where you are right now?

A farm implement company and a grain elevator.

Thank you for posting on my little thread!

The American Red Cross

Um, a whole bunch of other companies I have no idea what they do but I'm sure it's something interesting.

washroom

gas station

There's a Subway just around the corner from my office;

...in fact I just had lunch there today!

Juvenile Hall

Courthouse

Shelter for children

Mens Jail

Johnson Space Center.

A lake.

*Opps! I don't work anymore.*

i don't have a job ; so i'm surrounded by houses with 2 schools around the block from me

a school for the blind and a school for the talented and gifted oh and a supermarket and a whataburger

Speaking of Whataburger, am I the only one who thinks they are gross?

directly around the corner there is a church, several pubs & every take away under the sun

Seton Hall University is down the street and around the corner.

I am at home (it's one in the morning overhere). There is a police station in my house and 2 schools and a park are just around the corner. There is not that much snow currently as on the photo (but some), but this is the look out of my living room window where you can see the park and 1 school:

Yes you are! Taquitos rule!

But one thing about a Whataburger hamburger - you eat one, and the smell sticks around for awhile!

The building I work in kinda takes up a whole city block so it's hard to say what's exactly "around the corner" as that could really be in the same building.

That said, I'm within a block of First Avenue, The Target Center, Macy's, Nieman Marcus and really a whole bunch of other places. Lots and lots of stores and restaurants and bars and offices and so on.

Hey, have you been to the new Oceanaire at 6th and Nicollet? Sweetie and I haven't been there since they moved and we're going to be up there tomorrow. We loved the old place and I understand the atmosphere is very different. Just wondering if it's worth going, at all, anymore.

I have not been there, no. I know the old location had such high reviews, but I haven't heard since they've moved.

Incidentally, that's right next to me too.

I knew that.

True story: when I was six (going into first grade), my mom took me shopping for school clothes at Dayton's. (We were in Minneapolis visiting my uncle and aunt.) And then, we had lunch at a Chinese restaurant called The Sampan, which used to be downtown. I felt so special.

A few years later, when the Mary Tyler Moore show aired, I always got a little thrill when she spun around and tossed her beret in front of Dayton's. I loved that I had actually been someplace that was on TV. (I felt the same way about all the shots of Chicago in The Bob Newhart Show.)

That's awesome!

My grandma used to take me downtown on the bus when I was little on occasion to go shopping. Sometimes we ate lunch in the restaurant in the bottom of Powers (there's a blast from the past) but once in a while she'd take me to the Nan King. Eating in a Chinese restaurant in downtown Minneapolis was just so incredibly exotic!!

Y'know what? I'm pretty sure it was the Nan King my mom and I went to. I think the Sampan was in Chicago...

I went to Whataburger ONCE about a million years ago. I don't even remember them having taquitos. The burgers were AWFUL!

Houses

The beach and the ocean and marine stingers at the moment

Fifth Avenue, with the Museum of Modern Art on the other side of that.

Rockefeller Center is few blocks away.
