Hey guys. I live in Dinkytown and (hopefully) will be able to post photos of various projects routinely. Here's a slightly-distorted shot of the Venue (formerly House of Hanson) site. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ntuvxtxu922jfcp/2013-11-04%2014.09.08.jpg PS. Could somehow explain how to embed an image?...
