On Baton Rouge’s Airline Highway, the road snakes beneath a tangle of overpasses and steel supports, a striking symbol of mid-20th-century infrastructure. Originally developed as a major bypass route, Airline Highway became one of Louisiana’s busiest commercial arteries, linking petrochemical plants, warehouses, and neighborhoods across the capital region. At dusk, the glow of distant lights cuts through the industrial sprawl, underscoring how this corridor remains a vital — if gritty — backbone of the city’s economy and daily life.

The Baton Rouge Chemicals North complex of ExxonMobil stands along Scenic Highway in Louisiana’s industrial corridor. Part of one of the largest integrated refining and petrochemical operations in the United States, this facility produces a wide range of industrial chemicals used globally. The illuminated sign reflects both the company’s deep roots in the Baton Rouge area and the economic and environmental legacy of the region’s petrochemical industry.

An abandoned hydraulic jack repair shop sits across from the massive ExxonMobil refinery complex in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The plant, one of the largest oil refineries in the United States, has operated since 1909 and remains a central fixture of the city’s industrial identity. The decaying storefront in the foreground contrasts sharply with the illuminated refinery tanks and piping behind it — a visual divide between small-scale industry of the past and the enduring scale of the petrochemical operations that define the region’s economy.

The brightly lit towers and distillation columns belong to facilities along the Mississippi River Industrial Corridor, where refineries like ExxonMobil Baton Rouge operate around the clock. Steam and flares mark the ongoing refining processes that produce gasoline, diesel, and chemical feedstocks central to the region’s economy. The image captures the city’s long-standing connection to the energy and manufacturing industries.

The entrance sign for Shell’s Convent Refinery in St. James Parish, Louisiana, stands illuminated against the night sky. Opened in 1967, the refinery was a major facility in the state’s “Petrochemical Corridor,” processing up to 240,000 barrels of crude oil per day at its peak. Shell permanently shut down operations in 2020 amid declining demand and corporate restructuring, marking the end of one of the region’s most significant industrial sites along the Mississippi River.

Large-scale graffiti covers the façade of a decommissioned warehouse at the former Naval Support Activity base in New Orleans, Louisiana. Once part of a sprawling military logistics hub along the Mississippi River, the site has since become an unofficial canvas for artists and taggers. The “Open House” mural stretches across multiple bays of the building, symbolizing both abandonment and transformation as the complex awaits redevelopment under civic revitalization plans.

The Target Center’s neon Bullseye dog glows above 1st Avenue North, marking one of Minneapolis’ most recognizable downtown landmarks. Opened in 1990 and renovated in 2017 with a modern metal facade, the arena is home to the Minnesota Timberwolves and a hub for concerts and civic events. In the foreground, the enclosed skyway leads to Ramp A — part of the city’s expansive elevated walkway network that connects much of downtown. Snow-lined streets and the layered lighting of the ramps emphasize Minneapolis’ engineered adaptation to both density and winter.

The illuminated Target Field sign overlooks the Warehouse District in downtown Minneapolis, where the city’s historic brick warehouses meet modern transit and redevelopment. Below, the Metro Green and Blue Line trains stop at Target Field Station, a multimodal hub linking light rail, commuter rail, and bike paths.

On a cold winter night in Minneapolis, the Salvation Army’s brick building stands in the foreground, a reminder of the nonprofit’s long presence serving those in need near the city’s downtown core. Beyond it, steam rises from the nearby power plant while the illuminated skyline glows with high-rise towers, blending industrial grit with modern glass. The juxtaposition of snowy side streets, mid-century warehouses, and gleaming skyscrapers reflects the city’s layered history — from its working-class roots to its contemporary role as a regional hub of commerce and culture.
