The new theater has a bridge to nowhere extending over the Mississippi River.


A couple of stripey buildings (Fifth Street Towers).


Dain Rauscher Plaza.


Campbell Methun Tower in the foreground, but you can see the illuminated crown from 225 South Sixth in the back.

AT&T Building (real AT&T, not SBC; the local telco is Qwest [U.S. West]). Reminds me of bamboo.

Sweet pictures editor, I never knew Minneapolis had so much to offer architecturally.

[editor]

Minneapolis is going through something of an architectural awakening. People there are starting to realize that the way their city looks matters, and Joe Sixpack is starting to back ever-more-adventurous designs.

If there were more people or more demand it could be one of the leading cities for architecture. But alas, there just isn't that critical mass driving it.
