United Crushers grain elevator stands beside the University of Minnesota Transitway in the Dinkytown area of Minneapolis.

The University of Minnesota Transitway runs along the East Bank corridor in Minneapolis, carrying university and Metro Transit buses between the Twin Cities campuses. It parallels former rail lines near Dinkytown, an area long tied to grain handling and rail freight. The concrete elevator complex next to the route operated for decades by ADM, part of the grain processing industry that once anchored this stretch of the riverfront.
