Target Field Station in Minneapolis during a winter sunrise, viewed across the railyard as snowplow trucks clear nearby roadways. Opened in 2014, the station serves as the western terminus for METRO Blue and Green Line light-rail service and functions as a multimodal hub for events at Target Field and the surrounding North Loop district. Its distinctive steel canopy and track arrangement were designed to accommodate both current transit operations and future extensions, reflecting the region’s long-term rail planning strategy. The elevated vantage also highlights the mix of transit, freight infrastructure, and redevelopment that continues to reshape this former warehouse district.

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.

Personal-care items—including toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other everyday hygiene products—sit behind locked Plexiglas cabinets at the Target flagship store in downtown Minneapolis. In recent years, large retailers across U.S. urban centers have expanded the use of secured cases for small, easily resold goods in response to rising shrink and merchandise loss. At this location, much of the oral-care section now requires staff assistance to access, reflecting a broader shift in store security strategies and retail operations in high-traffic downtown corridors.
