March 2020 — The iconic bronze statue of Mary Tyler Moore along Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis, depicting the memorable hat-tossing moment from the opening of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which first aired in 1970 and helped cement Minneapolis in television history. Installed in 2002, the statue symbolizes the city’s cultural association with the show’s themes of independence and optimism. At the time of this photograph, Nicollet Mall—normally a busy pedestrian and transit corridor—appears unusually empty, reflecting the early days of COVID-19 shutdowns that drastically reduced public presence in city centers. Blue public art lanterns, added during street improvements completed in 2017, line the renovated streetscape, emphasizing Nicollet Mall’s evolution as both a commercial and cultural landmark.
March 2020 — Downtown Minneapolis after dark, with the Gaviidae Common retail and office complex illuminated along Nicollet Mall. The metallic blue spherical public art installation in the foreground—inscribed with words referencing music, light, and community—adds a cultural element to the urban corridor. Reflected dramatically in the golden glass façade of the Westin building behind it is the historic Foshay Tower, one of Minneapolis’s earliest skyscrapers dating back to 1929. Today, Nicollet Mall serves as the city’s primary pedestrian and transit thoroughfare, blending modern commercial redevelopment, historic preservation, and public art into a central civic space.

The cylindrical crown of the IDS Center, completed in 1973, anchors the skyline in the distance as the city’s tallest building and a defining element of its modern profile. In the foreground, the neon signage of Murray’s, a Minneapolis institution since 1946, adds a warm counterpoint to the cooler glass-and-steel architecture surrounding Nicollet Mall.

March 2020 — Santa Cruz La Laguna is a traditional Mayan village located on the steep mountainside of the lake, roughly 325 vertical feet above the lake's surface (population: approximately 3,100). The village has the unique characteristic of being accessible only by boat or footpath. A single, winding road connects the dock to the village. There is a very rough road connecting Santa Cruz to Sololá which is used to transport heavy goods, concrete blocks, furniture, and a few vehicles. The village has no roads, telephone system, or commercial center, although a common gathering place in the village is the sports court, used for basketball and soccer by the children of the village. Electricity is intermittent and expensive, and is therefore not installed in many households.

The clean geometric design and reflective overhead lighting highlight the modern storage architecture. Alongside the bay, a large mound of plowed and refrozen urban snow—common in Minneapolis winters—rests against the wall, showing traces of salt and grime accumulated through repeated freeze–thaw cycles. The pragmatic blend of winter maintenance and commercial storage design captures both the climate and the industrial character of the city.

Coach USA, a subsidiary of Stagecoach Group, operates regional and interstate routes across the United States, often in partnership with Megabus since their brands share booking systems and fleet resources. The bus shown is an MCI J4500 model, widely used for long-distance motorcoach travel due to its capacity and highway comfort. The collaboration between Megabus and Coach USA expanded low-cost express travel options throughout the Midwest and beyond, allowing travelers to board Coach USA-operated vehicles with tickets purchased via Megabus’s digital platform.
February 2020 — “Location Reminder” ticket stamping machine, once used in transit stations to help passengers remember where they parked or to mark their travel tickets with time and place. The metal box features a lever-operated stamping mechanism, a faded instructional label, and worn edges that show decades of use. Devices like this were common in train station parking facilities and older public transit hubs before digital systems replaced manual timestamping. The angled mounting on tiled wall, along with the utilitarian industrial design, reflects mid-20th-century station infrastructure, where functional machines like this played a part in daily commuter routines.
