    This is a great album; it especially caught my eye since I live in Minnesota and get to the Rondo neighborhood area fairly often.   The photos and maps are a nice mix.  Many years ago I read a book The Days of Rondo (MN Historical Society)  which is a memoir of life in the neighborhood before the freeway took over.  The neighborhood  celebrates Rondo Days in the summer;  Rondo Ave. Inc. celebrates the history.   The photos would be a great introduction to an information gathering project using historical newspapers to learn about the past and the controversy  over redevelopment.   A Then and Now project is a natural, especially for students in the area.   Others could use Google Maps to find photos of places such as the Co-Op Store pictured above.

    The ideas and resource list in the corresponding discussion are very comprehensive.
