Built in 1929 and inspired by the Washington Monument, the Foshay Tower is a time capsule from a more flamboyant era. Once the tallest building in Minneapolis, its rich limestone façade and lavish lobby echo a time when architecture was all about grandeur and ambition. It now houses a hotel, but its original vision still stands tall. Grab this Architecture Aficionado POAP for checking off a Deco darling in the 612 POAP Challenge.

Charming and serene, Lake Harriet is where music floats from the bandshell, vintage streetcars hum nearby, and serenity lives around every bend of the trail. It’s the lake for long walks, kite festivals, and a stop at the famous bread-and-ice-cream-serving bandshell café. The perfect blend of urban and nostalgic, it invites you to slow down and take it all in. You’ve earned this Lake Lover POAP for soaking in the classic Minneapolis vibe on your 612 POAP Challenge.
