"The modern Northeast extends to commercial districts stretching along major north-east corridors including University Avenue, Central Avenue, East Hennepin Avenue, Broadway, and Stinson and New Brighton Boulevard towards the city limits. Blending a heritage of old architecture, classic housing, bustling commercial streets, and industrial work centers, along with new residential high-rises, suburban cul-de-sacs, big-box retail, and a popular art scene, Northeast offers diverse amenities as part bedroom neighborhood and job center for the city of Minneapolis. The prominent features of Northeast include tall European influenced churches and massive grain silos and mills, both of which are visible in the landscape. Mostly built around the late 18th to early 19th century, these structures shadow the landscape of modest Victorians and four story apartments.
Restaurants and shops catering to a younger population have also re-energized Northeast Minneapolis. These newer businesses operate side by side with older establishments from the earlier era, including Nye's Polonaise Room and Kramarczuk's Sausage Company. The new face of Northeast Minneapolis is perhaps best seen in the new Hennepin Avenue Bridge. The new suspension bridge is at the same site of the first permanent bridge across the Mississippi River and is styled after the first bridge at the site, also a suspension bridge."
Ahhhh love.
