The University Avenue Project, Volume Two: The Language of Urbanism: A Six-Mile Photographic InquiryAcclaimed photographer Wing Young Huie explores the complex cultural and socioeconomic diversity of the St. Paul neighborhoods along University Avenue. This urban corridor connects a burgeoning condominium community, mom and pop stores, big box retailers, schools, and family homes. At one public school alone, students have emigrated from sixty six countries. These colliding cultures reflect the gamut of the evolving American experience, from old world

Acclaimed photographer Wing Young Huie explores the complex cultural and socioeconomic diversity of the St. Paul neighborhoods along University Avenue. This urban corridor connects a burgeoning condominium community, mom and pop stores, big-box retailers, schools, and family homes. At one public school alone, students have emigrated from sixty-six countries. These colliding cultures reflect the gamut of the evolving American experience, from old world to developing world to modern world.

The book, which springs from the public exhibition of the same name--a six-mile-long gallery running from May through November 2010 with 500 pictures exhibited on store windows and buildings and projected at night onto a large outdoor screen--explores the power of photography to destroy stereotypes and reveal cultural richness among the peoples of a city. The book and the exhibit, presented by Public Art Saint Paul, with major support from the Joyce Foundation, document the everyday lives of citizens connected by this singular street. In addition, Huie engages the subjects of his photographs with these questions:

- What are you?
- What advice would you give a stranger?
- How do you think others see you?
- What don't others see?
- How has race affected you?

The University Avenue Project not only collects Wing Young Huie's stunning photography but also provides the stories behind the photos in the residents' own words and a behind-the-scenes look at the complexities of staging this nationally significant exhibit. Volume 2 will document the reactions to and interactions with the exhibit and will be available in August. For more information, visit www.theuniversityavenueproject.com.

Wing Young Huie has photographed the dizzying mixture of socioeconomic and cultural realities of the changing American city. His best-known work, Lake Street USA, transformed six miles of a Minneapolis thoroughfare into an epic photo gallery. The University Avenue Project will be installed in St. Paul in May 2010 and run through November of 2010.

Thinner fabric than usual.
Size: Large, Color: Black Heather Full Zip
Good quality, but much thinner fabric than my other hoodie sweatshirts. Because of this, I have not been wearing it, but instead I've been wearing the thicker ones I already owned. This item was a good price; now I see why. It's too light for winter, and too heavy for summer. Not sure when it will be useful.

Good value
Size: 10.5, Color: Black/Black
They fit and they stay on my feet (I was worried because these are slip-ons).

Comfortable lightweight sneakers for casual everyday wear
Size: 9.5, Color: Navy
These sneakers feel like a decent value for the price. They are very lightweight, which makes them comfortable and easy to wear throughout the day, though that also means they feel a bit less substantial than more supportive athletic shoes. I have mainly been using them with business casual office outfits, and they work perfectly well for that kind of light-duty everyday wear. I would not personally use them for anything especially active since they do not offer a ton of support, but for casual use they have been great. I also like how easy they are to slip on and off. I typically wear a size 9.5, and these fit true to size for me.
