Minnehaha in a Word

Minnehaha's "laughing waters" flow beneath the Hiawatha Avenue bridge on a course destined for the Mississippi River and the long journey to the sea. Ha! Minnehaha's frozen serene goes unnoticed overhead where drivers of speeding cars rush to and fro. Nearby, a dale flush with golden winter grasses snuggles into a crook of Minnehaha's banks. The roar of distant jets at the airport muffles the sound of laughter floating in the air from children ice skating. Swoosh, skate, laugh. Minnehaha.
