Children Playing on the Bohemian Flats, circa 1895
These kids are also in this photo. The Bohemian Flats were a place where generations of immigrants to Minneapolis first lived when they moved to the city. Writer/director Liz Neerland is descended from residents of the Bohemian Flats and is debuting a play about life on the Flats at the Nimbus Theater this weekend. The play runs through April 7th.
