Hiawatha Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Hiawatha Line opened 50 years and one week after the last regular-service streetcars ran in the city. The Hiawatha Line is a 12 mile (19 kilometer) light rail corridor in Minneapolis, Minnesota that extends to the southern suburb of Bloomington, in Hennepin County connecting downtown Minneapolis to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and the Mall of America, among other destinations. The line is named for Hiawatha Avenue, also known as Minnesota State Highway 55, which runs parallel to the train tracks for much of its distance. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hiawatha_Line

Shades of Mediocrity: When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar, then you know the Metrodome is not very far I took the train from the 38th Street Station to the Metrodome, and then caught a 16 bus to the West Bank. I have no idea whether the Hiawatha Line will succeed, but I know I will take it again, probably to evening events downtown (for example, seeing a movie at Block E). One disappointment: unlike the Disney World monorail, there is no disembodied voice kindly advising you to "please stand clear of the doors" in English and Spanish. blog.lib.umn.edu /archives/trail001/shades/002510.html
