Dayton’s was in its prime, the new Nicollet Mall was full of people, the Foshay Tower was still king, and the IDS Center was beginning its rise. Bustling sidewalks teamed with shoppers and businessmen, young and old, no matter what the weather, because the skyway system was just being born. Downtown Minneapolis in the early 1970s was a scene. Mike Evangelist, a seventeen-year-old from the suburbs, found everything about the city to be amazing. This “introvert with a camera” turned his lens to the scenes around him—young women hitching a ride, a disabled vet selling pencils, stylish shoppers strolling Nicollet Mall, once-grand movie houses on Hennepin Avenue—capturing a vibrant and rapidly changing city. Forty years later, he has unearthed this trove of images that vividly reflect a memorable time in Minneapolis. Writer and artist Andy Sturdevant, who has been called “the preeminent wit, flaneur, and psycho-historian of the Twin Cities,” explores these streets as a congenial companion, commenting with a sharp eye and thoughtful insights. Do you miss the seventies? Did you miss the seventies? Downtown takes you there. Mike Evangelist is an enthusiastic photographer and marketing executive specializing in high technology products. Andy Sturdevant, an artist, writer, and arts administrator, writes about art, history, and culture for a variety of Twin Cities–based publications and websites.

From the Author This book is filled with photographs that I made for my own education and enjoyment. I never imagined that anyone besides me would ever see them, much less actually like them. But thanks to the combined effects of five separate events, this book is now a reality. First, the advent of affordable high-quality photo scanners made it possible for me to begin to digitize and sort my old negatives and slides, which had long languished in my closet. In fact, many of them had never been printed before, so in some cases I was essentially seeing the images for the first time. Second, as I began to go through the images, I realized that the passage of time had been good to them. The ordinary things I photographed had gained new meaning and relevance in the intervening forty years. Even as they sat in my closet, the images were changing. They were no longer just a bunch of separate photos of miscellaneous stuff; they were coalescing into a collection, an unintentional chronicle of places and people and things and times that were very important to me--and, as I learned later, to others as well. Third, serendipity and Facebook led me to share a few of these vintage images with my friends and family. Fourth, after seeing some of my photos, my cousin Bill Ojile encouraged me to check out the "Old Minneapolis" Facebook community. I'm very glad I did; it seemed an ideal place to share my images, and founder Jesse Jamison agreed. He began posting an image every day or so, and the immediate and enthusiastic response from the community was most gratifying. I especially loved how the ensuing conversations often revealed new details and context for an image or a scene. Fifth, I met Andy Sturdevant, who was working on a piece for MinnPost about the phenomenal growth of the Old Minneapolis Facebook community. This article also mentioned some of my photos, which caught the eyes of the good folks at the Minnesota Historical Society Press. Their interest ultimately led to the creation of this book.
From the Back Cover "Mike takes us on a visual odyssey of a Minneapolis long gone by. A compelling look at a city on the verge of social and political change; the home of Hubert Humphrey and Mary Tyler Moore. A place where Purple People Eaters reigned supreme before the world heard of Purple Rain. It's a lovely remembrance of the Minneapolis that once was--and a thoughtful look at how far we've come."ROBYNE ROBINSON, Arts and Culture Director, Airport Foundation MSP"I prowled the streets and avenues and establish- ments of Minneapolis in the 1970s as a cub. Mike and Andy have stopped a clock that has been slowly ticking. I remember, vividly, these stories, the buildings, and even the faces look familiar. It is a family album long lost, returned at long last."DON SHELBY, former anchor and reporter for WCCO-TV and Radio"The seventies weren't the best time for downtown Minneapolis, but they may well be the most interesting. These extraordinary pictures of our history help guide our future."R.T. RYBAK, executive director of Generation Next and former mayor of the city of Minneapolis"There's a nostalgic pleasure in looking at Mike Evangelist's photographs of Minneapolis in the 1970s. But the greater pleasure, for me, is in inhabiting the eyes of the shy suburban teenager who made these pictures. Evangelist's nervous thirst for the world blossoming (and decaying) around him is contagious."ALEC SOTH, photographer and author of Sleeping by the Mississippi

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful and interesting By Snowy This is a beautiful and well done book. It is on the larger side and nicely heavy. The text is interesting and the photos are wonderful. I agree that I would have loved to see more photos. Even if you were not familiar with Minneapolis during this period (I was born in the 1980s) it is a fascinating book. Perfect gift.
