Lori Wilson

I am explicably lured by the sights and sounds of Minneapolis. I dig outdoor stuff. I love running, hiking, biking, adventure sports—pretty much anything slightly off-kilter—just like me.

You feel a moment of quiet desperation upon entering this local indie bookstore from the outside world. Fiercely you want to consume all the knowledge tucked in these shelves but you’re unsure where to start. Therein lies the beauty of M&Q—the tangle of literature pulls you to places you least expect to go. The store’s layout coaxes you into a labyrinth of ink and aging pages where hours drift by unnoticed. You may stumble upon rare edition publications or deeply immerse yourself in literary trinkets of Minnesota’s cultural history. Don’t be surprised to see local writers or artists traversing the narrow rows. Stop, say hello and expect a greeting in return (We are Minnesota, after all). The slightly disorganized feel of the books (which are actually quite smartly organized) feels like you strike gold when you unearth an obscurity from the stacks. In a fast-paced world of digital print, M&Q feels like no other place. Here, written words ache to come alive.

The eye of the storm

The 'Storm of the Summer' didn't take long to roll in from the north. The temperature dropped 20 degrees in less than five minutes. The sun, a blazing inferno just a minute ago, disappeared behind the rolling blanket of clouds. It blinked once more and was gone. By now, half the crowd had run for cover into the confines of the stadium. The other half stayed outside, gawking at the boiling mess of clouds above, phones pointed upward. Literally 30 seconds later, the sky split open and golf-ball size hail tumbled out onto the field. The wind gusts practically made your hair stand up straight. Summer storms are the best. And when they happen right downtown like this one... you hope you have a camera.

If you could take just one photo: Old and new book spines
