The "Gold Medal Flour" neon sign stands atop a historic grain elevator in downtown Minneapolis. This sign has been a prominent feature of the city's industrial waterfront for decades, advertising a brand that originated in the late 19th century. The grain elevator itself represents Minneapolis's past as a major milling and transportation hub for agricultural products.
