Aliens have landed in Nokomis!

Posted

Greg Kelly model builderThe Aliens have landed, right here in the Twin Cities! Greg Kelly just retired from 43 years of running a Hobby Shop in Southern California. Last October he married his High School Sweetheart Dana and moved to Minnesota to be with her. They live near 52nd and 41st and love the Nokomis neighborhood. “I could never quit my model building so I made this UFO-Alien landing site. Dana and I drove all around and found these very distinctive stores, much to the liking of ‘Aliens’ Tailorbird Tattoos which happens to be in Nokomis, and I added a nice tower feature. Peppermint Twist in Delano sporting a new ice cream sandwich roof, Swede Hollow with a Scandinavian roof, and Cup & Cone. And ET cameo appearance pulling along a baby alien in the red wagon.” Most of his creations have been donated to museums, schools and libraries in southern California. Dana insisted I bring along the Titanic Grand Staircase and 1950’s style movie theatre.” Kelly would love to share his model building passion with fellow Messenger readers. (Photo submitted)
