The Lyn-Lake area of Minneapolis; centered around the intersection of Lyndale Avenue and West Lake Street; is one of the city�s most distinctive neighborhoods. The core commercial district is one of the oldest in South Minneapolis; thanks in part to its strategic location along several early streetcar lines. A rail line along Twenty-ninth Street; now the Midtown Greenway; brought an industrial element to the neighborhood and provided additional jobs for the thousands of residents who lived in the surrounding houses and apartment buildings. As the neighborhood evolved; it took on a distinctive bohemian bent and filled with a diverse mix of artists; musicians; and writers living side by side with blue-collar industrial workers; along with those who worked at professional office jobs downtown. Lyn-Lake retains its unique flavor today; characterized by its blend of both the historical and the cutting edge.
