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.

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.

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!!

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:)

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!
