12 stories from the heart of South Minneapolis: Lake Street. Lake Street cuts across Minneapolis from west to east, from the urbane to the urban to the blue-collar. North and south, it is the dividing line between inner-city neighborhoods and tidy bedroom communities. Lake Street is a polyglot of people from all corners of the world mixing with lifelong Minneapolitans. These stories range from people's hope for a new beginning, with the history of what was.
