John is joined by Melody Hoffmann (@MelodySWV from https://southwestvoices.news) for a Saturday night special report on location from the streets of Uptown. All with a goal of answering the question: what is the relative  aliveness of Uptown these days? We start in LynLake and move west  towards Uptown proper. We visit local art such as the Uptown Trolley Ball, assess the 29th Street "shared street," climb a local parking  garage for a bird's eye view of Hennepin Avenue, endure an extended cameo from neighborhood board president Jason Garcia, we interview a  person on the street about the local dating scene, and much more. 

Cinematography by Conrad Zbikowski.
