The Met has been found! 50 years after it's unjustified destruction, blocks from the most missed Minneapolis building have been identified in a granite yard, next to the Crow River in Delano, MN.

In honor of this discovery, I invite you to take a trip back in time through ultra high resolution, deep zoom photography. Here are some photographs available on the internet (thanks Shorpy), but now with the deep zoom ability.
Have fun finding interesting situations! It's like a "Where's Waldo" for historians.
From the Dignitaries on the roof, to the bicycles in front of the dive bar. From the horse drawn vehicles, to the laundry drying on the rooftop line. It's an amazing photograph to explore.
