Thomas Lowry was the founder of the Twin Cities Rapid Transit Company. At one point, it stretched from Minnetonka in the west to Stillwater in the east. A serial speculator, he managed to develop the still largely intact transit system that us Twin Citians use to this day...and lots of valuable real estate. This is not an ode to him per se, but just a fun page that will (probably) be fairly Minneapolis history-centric. (BTW: my name is Andy, and you can also find me here on Twitter. or email me at simplefolk75 at yahoo dot com)
