The Washburn A Mill in Downtown Minneapolis

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : During America's Gilded Age decades of 1880-1900, Minneapolis was the fastest growing city in the country. The city's main growth engine during these years was the flour industry, the epicenter of which was the gigantic Washburn A Mill, seen here in this drone video by gopherdrone. The world's largest flour mill when it opened in 1880, it replaced an earlier version which exploded catastrophically in 1878. The mill's operator eventually became General Mills, which shut down the facility in 1965.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

Beautiful day here had to get out with the drone again. This is the old Washburn A Mill on the Minneapolis riverfront, between the Mill City Museum and the Guthrie Theater. Decided to recycle David Bowie's "Andy Warhol"; I know I used it for my Walker video but it seems to work pretty well for this one too. Shot with DJI Mavic Pro 2.
