While searching for a picture of the Metropolitan building in downtown Mpls a few years back found not only that but within the early 1900s picture on the opposite side of the street was a vacant lot that would later hold the western union office where I would be given my first ever real job in 1958 I even reconized the alley that would run between it and the future unemployment office on the opposite side.in the picture occupied by a old hotel or flophouse......what a hoot!!
