This was going to be the easiest task ever.
1. Go find S 4th Av..
2. Take photo. Simplicity and Beauty.
This is what happened.
1. Went towards S 4th on surface streets to avoid rush hour.
2. Got to Portland overpass only to find it closed for repair.
3. Detoured way east to Bloomington Ave, discovered park I'd never seen.
4. Doubled back to find S 4th.
5. Pulled up to corner, jumped out, took photo of unremarkable street sign.
6. Realized woman on porch behind me is watching.
7. I wave
8. Jumped back in car and headed back to Bloomington Ave.
9. Find out Bloomington has no highway entrance, despite it's exit ramp.
10. Took a nice tour of Airport neighborhoods trying to get back on some kind of major road
(It's worth noting that the vast majority of 4th Aves in Minneapolis are in fact 4th Ave. S's. Took some research with google maps to find the 3 block stretch they flip.)
((in St. Paul and Minneapolis, 4th Street runs East and West.))

I'm so mad about this! Because I did this task too, and was too tired to put it up last night, and there is a S4 in my name toooooooo!
