One of the few surviving original McDonald’s neon signs still standing in the United States is located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Installed during the era before the Golden Arches fully defined the brand, the sign features “Speedee,” the chain’s early mascot introduced in the 1950s to promote the company’s streamlined “Speedee Service System.” The illuminated red-and-yellow marquee—advertising hamburgers and boasting “Over 100 Million Sold”—reflects the rapid national expansion of the franchise during its formative years. Today it serves as both a functioning restaurant sign and a preserved piece of mid-century fast-food history.

Large cylindrical storage tanks at Construction Resources Management, Inc. line the west bank of the Fox River in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Viewed from across the frozen river on a winter night, the facility is illuminated by perimeter lighting that reflects faintly off the ice. The site serves regional construction and materials operations, part of the industrial corridor that has long defined the waterfront between downtown Green Bay and the port district.

Green Bay Packaging’s modern recycled paper mill rises behind leafless winter trees along the Fox River in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The facility, completed in 2021 as one of the most advanced and energy-efficient mills in the country, emits illuminated plumes of steam that drift across the night sky. The river’s frozen surface reflects the mill’s lights and muted colors, creating a stark industrial winter landscape along the east bank of the Fox River.

Green Bay Packaging’s state-of-the-art recycled paper mill, completed in 2021 at a cost of roughly $500 million, releases plumes of steam into the winter night as viewed from across the Fox River. The facility replaced the company’s 72-year-old mill and became one of the most advanced recycled-paper operations in the country, designed to dramatically reduce water use and energy consumption while increasing production capacity. The glow from the mill’s lighting and processing equipment diffuses through the cold air, mingling with tree silhouettes along the riverbank and reflecting off the frozen surface of the Fox River.

A section of the rotary kiln system at the Graymont lime plant in Green Bay, Wisconsin, captured at night under maintenance and work lights. The massive rotating kiln—central to the calcination process that transforms limestone into high-purity lime—runs along a network of elevated platforms, access stairs, and steel supports. The orange glow from overhead lamps highlights the heat-intensive nature of kiln operations, while the surrounding catwalks and conveyors reflect the layered engineering required to keep the continuous production line moving.

Illuminated by a single amber work light, the upper platforms and transfer pipes of the Graymont lime plant in Green Bay, Wisconsin stand out against the night sky. The cylindrical storage silos are connected by enclosed conveyor and piping systems that move processed lime between different stages of production. Catwalks, ladders, and pipe supports trace the geometry of an industrial site that has long supplied lime for regional steelmaking, water treatment, and construction uses.

In the foreground, the familiar shingled lighthouse structure along the riverfront stands out against the white sky, its lantern room partially frosted as lake-effect snow drifts through the scene. The contrast between the elevated highway and the shoreline landmark highlights the mix of transportation corridors that define Green Bay’s industrial waterfront.

The glowing neon “EAT” sign at Al’s Hamburgers stands out against the snowy backdrop of winter in Minneapolis. The sign, with its bright mid-century colors and bold lettering, has been part of the business’s identity since the diner opened in 1934. Its classic styling reflects the era when small neighborhood restaurants relied on eye-catching storefront signs to draw in passing traffic. Light snow gathers on the striped awning below, adding a seasonal layer to one of the area’s longstanding local landmarks.

A fresh snowfall settles over Loring Park near downtown Minneapolis, softening the landscape around the park’s pedestrian bridge and historic shelter building. From above, the snow highlights the geometric layout of paths, railings, and terraces surrounding the bridge, which crosses a narrow channel connecting sections of the park’s pond system. Loring Park—a key part of the city’s late-19th-century park plan—remains one of Minneapolis’s most recognizable urban green spaces, bordered by the Loring Greenway and the southern edge of downtown. The new snow creates a uniform winter texture across the lawns, benches, and shoreline vegetation, with only light footprints and plowed walkways hinting at early morning activity in the park.

A heavy December 15, 2022 snowfall blankets the woodlands of Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis, transforming the Bassett Creek corridor into a monochrome winter landscape. Snow-laden branches bend over the slow curve of the creek, whose dark, unfrozen water provides one of the few contrasts against the dense white canopy. This stretch of Wirth Park—one of the largest urban parks in the Minneapolis park system—follows the natural course of the creek as it winds between restored wetlands, wooded slopes, and ski trails that date back to mid-20th-century park development efforts. The image captures the quiet, insulated atmosphere common in early-season snowstorms, when the park’s trails, waterway edges, and mature hardwoods take on a uniform, frost-covered texture.

An aerial view shows the charred remains of a vacant apartment building on Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis the morning after a fire swept through the structure. Snow outlines the building’s footprint and surrounding rooftops, contrasting sharply with the blackened debris and collapsed interior walls. Frozen trees, scorched timbers, and scattered structural fragments highlight both the intensity of the blaze and the rapid onset of winter conditions that followed.

An aerial view of the fire-damaged apartment building along Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis, photographed the morning after the incident. The structure’s roof is completely gone, and its upper floors are visibly burned out, leaving only the exterior walls and charred framing behind. Surrounding buildings—mostly mid-century apartment blocks—show normal winter conditions, their roofs covered in fresh snow. Traffic moves through the busy Lyndale and 24th Street intersection while the fire scene remains cordoned off with temporary fencing. The image highlights the dense residential fabric of this part of the city and the stark contrast between the intact neighborhood and the gutted building at the center of the block.

A close-up view of a hydraulic excavator’s quick-coupler and demolition attachment during the teardown of the former Southgate Office Tower in Bloomington, Minnesota. The worn steel, hydraulic lines, and layers of dust and debris show the heavy strain placed on equipment during large-scale structural demolition. Piles of shattered concrete, insulation, and twisted metal surrounding the attachment reflect the ongoing dismantling of the mid-century office complex.

The address numbers 5001 hang damaged and partially peeled from the exterior of the former Southgate Office Tower in Bloomington, Minnesota. Shot during the late-afternoon winter light, the sign shows the wear of a building already deep into demolition. The brick façade, fencing, and scattered debris reflect the final stages of teardown at the long-vacant 1960s-era tower that once stood near I-494 and Portland Avenue.
