The famous Gold Medal Flour building. While it's not in use any more as a mill, it is now home to the Mill City Museum and a bunch of condos. It sits adjacent to the new Guthrie Theater complex.
The aforementioned new Guthrie Theater. Inside are 3 theaters (the main theater, a thrust stage whose seating steps you can see the outside of in this photo, a proscenium stage, and the Dowling Studio, a small arena theater space), 2 restaurants, a scene shop and costume shop. The picture you can see on the outside of the building is one of several actual photos from famous Guthrie productions of the past they they actually imprinted into the exterior material of the building itself. At night the light it with blue lights that make the images jump right off the building. It's a beautiful building inside and out.
From inside the Guthrie, here's what the view of downtown Minneapolis looks like. Is this a great town, or what?
Another famous landmark, this is the old Federal Reserve Bank building. It is one of the last remaining suspension buildings left in the country. It's built on the same concept as it's more well-known cousin, the suspension bridge. That big U shape you see actually holds the interior of the building up.
