Loved this. Haven't been downtown for a while, and wanted to see where it all happened. Heading out to Paisley Park next. We miss you, Purple One!

This was a great way to spend an hour in Minneapolis. Brought back so many memories. Really made the history of Prince downtown come alive. Highly recommended.
