She goes on to talk about her excitement… “I can’t even start to tell you how happy I am with the start of the album. It sounds so amazing so far! More to come and thank you everyone who has ever believed in me. This has been a new experience for me. I’m a creature of habit and was so scared, but my heart is so full now. I just can’t wait to hand this beautiful monster of an album over to the world.”

Davina and The Vagabonds offer “a modern take on old-time blues and jazz” (PennLive). They’ve created a stir on the national music scene with their high-energy live shows, level A musicianship, sharp-dressed professionalism, and Davina’s commanding stage presence.

August 3, 2019, Saturday - Warehouse District Walking Tour

Time: 9:30a – 11:30a

Location: Edina Realty, 226 Washington Ave. N.

Preserve Minneapolis presents: Warehouse District Walking Tour

The Minneapolis Warehouse Historic District is the state's largest commercial district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Spread over a 30-block area, the district includes 140 buildings and structures. The district is historically important as an area of early commercial growth during the development of the city of Minneapolis and as the city's warehouse and wholesaling district that expanded during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Minneapolis became a major distribution center in the upper Midwest. Wholesalers were attracted to the area northwest of the downtown business district where land values were relatively low and railroad lines nearby. The leading wholesale lines included groceries, fruits and produce, hardware, dry goods, glassware and most importantly, agricultural implements.

The district is also architecturally significant for its remarkably intact concentration of commercial buildings designed by the city's leading architects including Cass Gilbert, Long and Long, Harry Wild Jones, Kees and Colburn and Hewitt and Brown. Stylistically, the buildings represent every major style from the period including Italianate, Queen Anne, Richardsonian Romanesque, Renaissance Revival and the Commercial Style.

The warehouse district has retained its sense of time and place with original bridges still in place, streets paved with bricks and trains passing through daily on the track beds around which the area first developed. The tour will discuss the overall history of the district, the history and architectural styles of individual buildings and the architects who designed them.

This year's tour will feature additional buildings not included in previous tours of the Warehouse District. The tour will walk one mile and is ADA accessible. The tour guide is Rolf Anderson. $12.
