For the final post of the day, we point you to 41 Stories. That blog that will attempt to track -- photographically and otherwise, every Monday -- the progress of the Metrodome roof repair from an interesting vantage point.

Explains J.U. of Strother Communications Group: I'm not saying this is a link of pure genius, or as provocative at the Lingerie League, but it has to be better than random pictures of pets in Halloween costumes. My company has one of the best views of the Metrodome in all of Minneapolis from the top floor of the Campbell Mithun Tower. Whenever someone visits our office the first thing they want to do is look out our windows to see the deflated Dome and the repair efforts.

The photo above is from this Monday, where, "From our perspective it appears 14 panels are currently being replaced," according to 41 Stories.

With repairs slated to be ongoing for months, this will be a site worth re-visiting.
