The Foshay Tower used to be the tallest building in Minneapolis, but is now overshadowed by the modern glass buildings.
The tower was recently renovated into a W hotel. Hip, trendy and cool, this old girl as a new look. There’s something else new there too…
The observation deck is now open! Check back over the next few days to see the view from the open-air 31st floor* 32nd floor observation deck!
*According to Christy who works at the museum, the Museum is on th 30th floor, then there’s two flights of stirs up to the Observation Deck on the 32nd floor. I got mixed up on the stair count. 
Thanks Christy!

Like the way you showed us the two different reflections. Looks like you folks had a ball with your photography walkabout. Bet you had fun just bouncing ideas off each other.
2 things-
(1) Its about dang time! and (2) Isnt it the 32nd floor?. haha.
Anyway, nice shots. Love how each individual glass pane is all warbled. Glad we could all go do this and you were a very funny guy to talk with. I hope to be able to get together again with all of us and shoot some more of the TCities. Did your wide-angle ever work again?
JR-
1. Hey!
2. Nope, 31st, I checked with Wikipedia. The museum is on 30. For some reason I was having a hard time remembering too.
3. Thanks! I had a great time and enjoyed meeting you! I had a great time and am glad we all went out for dinner after. Let’s do it again sometime. Oh, yes, the Wide-Angle-lens roared to life a few days later. Not sure what happened,
Actually, I work at the Foshay Museum and the museum is on the 30th floor, the elevator equipment room is on the 31st and the observation deck is on the 32nd. The only way that I know is because the people who remodled the building have been up here. The pictures are great, by the way.

Thanks for the comments, was that you we met that night in the museum? When the six of us were there we signed the guest book on the way out.
Thanks for resolving the riddle of the floor number!
