First Bridge Across the Mississippi

The Hennipen Avenue bridge. I guess it was the first permanent bridge across the Mississippi river.

the reflection is great. is that the shape of the state because if it is it looks like a rectangle that exploded on top and on the bottom. by the way i loved mn. with all those lakes, great fly fishing.

Hey Little Uke! This is 'that grain belt bridge' too. The lyrics are really appropriate. I used to live 2 blocks from there and if you walk accross it you can go right to downtown, just like the song says! There are bright lights, tall buildings and on weekends tons of people swarm on the huge bar scene in the area.

You'd be walking away from St Anthony main, which is a nice residential part of town with some shops and eateries. St. Anth Main is right on the outer reaches of U of M housing (to the east) and just accross the river from downtown (to the south).
