The "back side" of East Campus, perched on the edge of the Mississippi river gorge. Unfortunately for many decades the university turned its back to the river, with its barge traffic, industrial buildings and the unsightly old Bohemian Flats neighborhood. In recent decades some attempts have been made to integrate the river into campus again, but with very little success. Informative link: http://www1.umn.edu/urelate/kiosk/0703kiosk/mississippi.html
