ADM Grain Elevator and Harris Machinery Co., Minneapolis

ADM Grain Elevator and Harris Machinery Co., Minneapolis

The aging ADM grain elevator rises over the Harris Machinery Co. building in Minneapolis, a reminder of the city’s long industrial relationship with grain milling and riverfront commerce. These concrete storage silos and metal-clad headhouses were once central to moving Midwestern grain through the milling district, part of an infrastructure network that fueled Minneapolis’s identity as the “Flour Milling Capital of the World.” Harris Machinery Co., a longtime supplier of industrial equipment, occupies the foreground, its brick façade contrasting with the weathered surfaces of the towering elevator. The structures together illustrate the layered industrial history of the city’s working riverfront.

Heavy-Metal Guitarist Wanted Flyer in Downtown Minneapolis

Heavy-Metal Guitarist Wanted Flyer in Downtown Minneapolis

A flyer taped to a pole in downtown Minneapolis advertises a search for an “aggressive guitar player” and “people who give a damn,” echoing the recruitment style of 1980s metal bands. The poster lists influences ranging from Vixen and Madam X to Mötley Crüe, Poison, Ratt, and Judas Priest—names that shaped the Twin Cities’ hard-rock and glam-metal culture during the era of small clubs and independent bands. Its DIY design and bold typography reflect the ongoing tradition of grassroots music promotion that still surfaces in the city’s urban corridors.
