Didn't see this post elsewhere, but I found this to be fascinating. Has footage of what Washington and Hennepin looked like and the some of the regulars there.

Re: Documentary on Mpls' Skid Row
The gentleman that owned a skid row bar and shot all that footage just passed away last month. His story was just as fascinating.
Q. What, what? A. In da butt.

Re: Documentary on Mpls' Skid Row
I love this video, as well as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPogt1m3KKg
It's a walk through Minneapolis in 1983.
We should start a new thread or even a sub forum dedicated to old pics and vids of Minneapolis. It's not too difficult to find footage of the city pre 1960, but I would love to see some more from the 70s-early 90s.

Pick up the book Down & Out, The life and death of Minneapolis Skid Row. I have it as well as Lost Twin Cities and love them!
