The Grain Belt Beer sign, a historic Minneapolis landmark, stands on Nicollet Island overlooking the Mississippi River. Originally installed in 1941, this illuminated sign once advertised the nearby Grain Belt Brewery, which operated in Northeast Minneapolis. In the background, the Hennepin Avenue Bridge, the first bridge to cross the Mississippi River at Minneapolis, connects downtown with the city's northeast side.
