The iconic Grain Belt Beer sign sits just across the Mississippi from downtown Minneapolis next to the Hennepin Ave Bridge. The sign used to be lit up at night, I wish they still kept it lit, that would be so much fun to shoot at night.

Awesome reflective snap, Mitchster Meister! Darn, I wish the Mississippi ran thru Eagan!
Wonderful photo!! Love it!
Hey, that’s my shot!
my Pop read that there is a group in MPLS who are looking into relighting the sign. The trouble is $$$.
It’s always a $ thing. If they created a website that took donations (or found a web designer ah-hem to help them), they could promote it, make posters, find people that want to see it again and get a couple $. Do a tie-in promotion with Grain Belt.

These historic old signs need to be kept, restored & enjoyed. I hope they do find a way to raise the dollars. Nice shot Mitch. I can tell you, our sky isn’t anywhere near that shade of blue.
