The North Loop of Minneapolis has lately come into its own, becoming the city’s epicenter of art and commerce that celebrates its industrial past. Nestled along the Mississippi River within the Warehouse Historic District, the neighborhood was once home to bustling railroad yards, factories, warehouses and mills. Named after the trolley line that was the neighborhood’s lifeline, the area fell dormant during the 1960s and ’70s before getting a second wind as artists moved into its abandoned warehouses. More recently, restored lofts, restaurants and stylish boutiques have been popping up in the landmarked neighborhood.
