A CTS tractor-trailer crosses the Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge—locally known as the Tower Drive Bridge—during a winter snowstorm in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 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.

A freight crew member walks alongside HLCX 1070 during a heavy snowstorm at Quincy Street and Eastman Avenue in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The locomotive’s headlights cut through the blowing snow as operations continue despite low visibility and freezing conditions. Industrial structures in the background fade into the whiteout, highlighting how rail work persists year-round across the region’s manufacturing and transportation corridors.

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.

The Southgate Office Tower in Bloomington, Minnesota, stands with its vertical concrete panels and boarded-up windows in the final weeks before demolition. Built in the 1960s as part of a broader commercial corridor near I-494 and Portland Avenue, the building had become long vacant by the 2010s. Its distinctive mid-century façade—once a recognizable landmark for drivers on the interstate—shows stripped interiors and exposed structural elements as crews prepare the site for redevelopment.

Construction equipment and twisted debris surround the former Southgate entrance canopy as crews continue dismantling the long-vacant tower near I-494 in Bloomington, Minnesota. The Southgate complex, once part of a mid-century office corridor, is being cleared after years of declining occupancy, making way for new redevelopment in one of the metro’s busiest commercial zones. The exposed framework and scattered metal panels highlight the final stages of the structure’s removal.

A partially dismantled mid-century office tower stands open to the winter light in Bloomington, Minnesota, as demolition crews continue taking down the long-vacant structure. The building’s exposed interior and collapsed debris field reflect the broader wave of suburban redevelopment that has reshaped commercial corridors near I-494 and the Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport. Heavy equipment rests at the base of the tower, marking another step in clearing the site for future use amid changing regional land-use patterns.

This view looks across the residential neighborhoods bordering Interstate 94 in Minneapolis, an area shaped heavily by mid-20th-century highway construction. When I-94 was built between the 1950s and early 1970s, it cut through several established communities—including parts of Cedar-Riverside, Seward, and Phillips—reshaping street grids, housing patterns, and long-standing cultural districts. The snow-covered homes clustered above the highway reflect a mix of older housing stock and later infill development that emerged after the corridor was completed. The elevated ramps and interchanges shown here connect local streets to one of the region’s primary east–west routes, linking downtown Minneapolis with St. Paul and the wider interstate system.
