Minneapolis?

 

[GrogNerd]

You take the skyway, high above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves, at night I lie awake
Wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street
But you take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold like any other place
It's warm up inside
Sittin' down and waitin' for a ride
Beneath the skyway
Oh, then one day, I saw you walkin' down that little one-way
Where, the place I'd catch my ride most everyday
There wasn't a damn thing I could do or say
Up in the skyway

Skyway
The Replacements

gosh-darn right, it's Minneapolis

yer up, don'tcha know?

 

[JonM]

That's exactly what made me think Minneapolis! Hmm. Skyway. Skyway high above that busy little one-way ...

 

[JonM]

Okay. Here's this city's crown jewel.

Architecture buffs will have this right away.

 

[Newsman]

Seattle, WA?

 

[JonM]

Nope, not Seattle.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Johnson Wax in Racine, WI.

That's what 2 years of architecture gets you - correct answer in "Name the Skyline."

 

[JonM]

Yup! Racine, Wisconsin, my home town. HF Johnson hired Frank Lloyd Wright for the J Wax headquarters and a bunch of other stuff in town.

The YWCA in town asked him to design their building too and then made the mistake of also asking someone else. For decades they had in the lobby a framed letter from FLW that ended "My dear ladies, I do not compete for work."

You're up!

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Pay no attention to the guy jogging on top of the guard rail...he's just an idiot. And he nearly fell when he tried jumping into the rail at ground level.
