Target Field Station in Minneapolis North Loop
September 2019
—
Opened in 2014, Target Field Station is a multimodal transit hub serving the METRO Blue and Green light rail lines, Northstar commuter rail, and several Metro Transit bus routes. It sits adjacent to Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins, and doubles as a public gathering space with an amphitheater, green plaza, and year-round programming.
In this night view, the glowing red canopy and bold “Target Field Station” signage stand out against the dark sky, framed between the historic Ford Center (left, built in 1912 as an assembly plant) and a modern office building (right). A freeway bridge cuts through the foreground, symbolizing the layered infrastructure of the city.
This mix of historic brickwork, modern transit, and illuminated signage captures Minneapolis’s ongoing balance of industrial heritage and urban redevelopment.

Jungle Theater Marquee, Minneapolis
September 2021

The illuminated marquee of the Jungle Theater in Minneapolis’s Lyn-Lake neighborhood, photographed at night. The Jungle has been a cornerstone of the area’s performing-arts culture since its founding in 1991, known for intimate productions and a focus on contemporary and classical works presented in a small black-box setting. Its signage—bold white lettering over a backlit panel—has become a recognizable part of the neighborhood’s streetscape and nightlife.
The theater emerged during a period of renewed investment in the Lyn-Lake district, when independent venues, restaurants, and arts organizations were helping to define the neighborhood as a creative corridor between Uptown and Whittier. Over the decades, the Jungle has developed a reputation for staging artist-driven performances and supporting local talent, contributing to the broader evolution of Minneapolis’s community-based theater movement that gained momentum in the late 20th centur
