Target is very big here in Minneapolis and this is their corporate offices where my youngest daughter works. The Twins are Minnesota’s baseball team and the Target Corporation has done a lot in sponsoring the new Twins Stadium, which is now called ‘Target Field’. You can see a fiberglass baseball player standing right outside the main entrance.

Interesting pictures of the Target building and of the baseball field.
ReplyDeleteI guess both the sport and the company are helping each other mutually.
5sn't that a good thing?
Neat reflections in the Target windows.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a Target store but we have one not far from me. I must take a look some time
ReplyDeleteThey're everywhere! Those are both great pictures!
ReplyDeletei was wondering why did they name the baseball team "Twin".
ReplyDeleteMany years ago when the baseball team first came to Minnesota they were the 'Washington Senators'. Then, as time passed, one of the new owners decided to name it after the region, which is the 'Twin Cities' area of Minnesota. The Twin Cities of Minnesota include Minneapolis and St. Paul. So since the team played in the Twin Cities the owner changed their name to the Twins.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much to all for stopping by and visiting. Greatly appreciate it and enjoyed your comments. Thank you again!
I like Target (although I have never been to the best store, Dayton-Hudson). Their stores are cleaner and less cluttered than the main competition, a in a wheelchair, wide aisles are better...

Great shots. I think signs are not easy to photograph well, but you have done wonderfully. I lived in Minneapolis briefly back in 1978. Loved it.
