If in the downtown area, architecture lovers should make a stop through this historic landmark. Rand Tower is an Art Deco gem that was built in 1929 by WW1 aviator/businessman Rufus. R. Rand. The limestone exterior features hand-carved images that highlight Rand's love of flying and that same theme is carried throughout the interior detailing. "Wings", the statue in the small lobby (the only interior section open to the public), was crafted by Oskar J.W. Hansen - who was also commissioned to sculpt 40 colossal figures for Hoover Dam.
Rand Tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. Leave a Comment Address: 527 Marquette Ave. Minneapolis MN

This is a restored frontier settlement going back to the very early days of the Twin Cities. Guides dressed in period Army uniforms describe their duties, daily routines, and the way life was back then. The park also has extensive hiking and biking trails. Leave a Comment

Remember the jokes about how the 9/11 terrorists learned to fly in Minnesota? Well, I kid you not, they are still proudly displaying a very large billboard in Hopkins, Minnesota adverising, you guessed it - "Learn To Fly - CHEEP!"

 is it a) factory b)power
station c) theater? by yooperprof
Fact is, loud, self-confidant architecture is exactly what's needed to lure the comfortable middle classes back to the urban core. And the Guthrie isn't just any typical provincial theater company - its the equal in significance to any other institution in the Twin Cites, and it deserves to have a landmark. The new Guthrie is certainly a landmark! Leave a Comment
