🤏♦️ Bottled up again in traffic.The iconic, Restored Historic Grain Belt Beer Sign, at the Hennepin Avenue Bridge, and the seldom photographed back side of the billboard to cap things off. The only place it's OK to twist a Grain Belt Cap in traffic.

Grain Belt Beer

Built in 1941, the Grain Belt Beer bottle cap sign was one of the largest freestanding neon signs in the region. The sign is approximately 50 feet wide and 40 feet tall.The sign was restored and converted to LED. 🤏♦️

Google Maps List of Walkable Mississippi Bridges:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/o9ZZVFNEmFtDhYSR6

One Mississippi,
Two mississippi,
27 Mississippi walkable Bridges.
One is a dam site.

The Twin Cities… many bridges…

The muddy Mississippi with high flying views.
High above barges and boats.
Feel the sweeping breeze past dams and waterfalls.

Huck Finn never made it to these parts.

Yes, see the only Mississippi waterfalls.
Walk over locks and dams…
Feel the power.

Taking to the wing…
A dream of most,
reality of some...

At the controls…
Only a few.

Taking to wing,
Soaring with eagles.

It is not all glory…
It is all unbelievable.
