Boston Skyway

I must have walked past this alley at least 100 times since I've lived in Boston... and I never noticed this skyway connecting the buildings (reminded me of Minneapolis a bit). Anyways, I thought it was pretty cool. Wonder if anything interesting is inside?

Minneapolis Skyways

The Minneapolis Skyway System is an interlinked collection of enclosed pedestrian footbridges that connect various buildings in Downtown Minneapolis enabling people to walk in a climate-controlled environment (which is GREAT when it's 15 below during the winter... or 90+ degrees during the summer). The extensive system is renowned as the largest continuous system in the world. It forms a network of pedestrian walkways that link sixty-nine full city blocks over seven miles!!

I have to admit it's pretty rad... you can pretty much get anywhere you want without going outside. It reminded me a bit of Hong Kong's underground MTR network.
