I’m not sure what the writer meant by “…named for the city’s once-famed Skyway system, a connecting series of pedways which linked many buildings in downtown Minneapolis.” With the use of the past tense, the implication seems to be that the Skyway system no longer exists. On the contrary, the Skyway (fondly known as the ‘Habitrail’ in these parts) is alive and well and – as far as I know – still-famed!
