Minneapolis Water Taxi, Hennepin Ave Bridge, Grain Belt Sign

A water taxi travels on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, passing under the Hennepin Avenue Bridge. Completed in 1929, the bridge is a significant example of early 20th-century infrastructure. The historic Grain Belt Beer sign, a remnant of the area's industrial past, is visible in the background, alongside modern residential buildings. The Mississippi River remains a vital transportation corridor, with services like the water taxi continuing its historical role.
