What a serendipitous discovery for you to make: a Venetian mural in the middle of the U.S. (And the artist—Hermann Krumpholz—is from Bavaria!) Hope you're having a fine time on your travels here, Pierre!
Were you able to visit the gondolas on the St. Croix River? I have a friend who rows true Venice-built beauties there in Stillwater (near Minneapolis). His website is gondolaromantica.com. Thanks for all your great photos - I always enjoy visiting this blog. You have a great eye for things. -Greg
Hi Pierre, Have been having a terrible time posting because of computer problems here in Santa Fe. Do so wish that our schedules would have allowed us to meet. Maybe next year? You found a great mural!!
Ha ha! That is really funny. I know where this is, now. My first job after high school was parking cars in this parking lot! It looked much different then. This now is a street full of party bars for young drinkers.
Are you still in Minneapolis? I could meet you somewhere for a CDP blog beer or coffee! Email me off my blog! I live 25 minutes from downtown Minneapolis!

I just discovered your blog and it is very lovely! I especially enjoy your quote by Mark Twain- very inspiring!
Hey! I live here in Minneapolis and I don't know where this is! Tell me, please! I wish I had know, so maybe we could have met.
Bon voyage.

Jeff -- Apparently it overlooks a parking lot and the Target Center, right here.
I can't believe you found that! Classic.
Hope you are enjoying your summer!
What an odd mural to have in Minnesota. Was it an Italian restaurant? Enjoy the rest of your trip:)
