Musical Parking Lot at Schmitt Music

Musical Parking Lot at Schmitt Music, originally uploaded by sylvar.

I saw this photo used to illustrate a post over at Matthew Yglesias’s blog. The post is about drawing inferences about liberals or conservatives based on car ownership rates or something like that, but I was just struck by the building, which is adorned with a segment from a piece by Ravel. I can’t believe that in a number of trips to the Twin Cities while in college, as a music major, that I never saw this!
