>one of the most popular tourist attractions in minneapolis is the ruins of the old washburn flour mill
>almost none of the machinery from the mill’s operating days remains because it all was destroyed in a fire in 1991
>before the fire no one in minneapolis cared about the mill and it sat abandoned
Why did they only start to care about the mill AFTER it burned down? It would be a much more interesting place if the machines were still there but instead it’s just a bunch of walls.
