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.

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.
