Minnesota Prince Murals

ByBeth Blair

Ask anyone who has lived in Minnesota what their Prince story is and you will hear some variation of their golden memory of a First Avenue appearance, being his neighbor, or running into him a drug store. For such a large metro area, it’s pretty incredible the impact Prince made. I moved to Minnesota in 2009, way past my clubbing and bar years, but my story is two-fold. I never met him, but he died in 2016 on my birthday, April 21. The reaction was amazing as Minneapolis turned purple from lights on buildings and bridges over the river.

Years later as my teenage daughter and I started mural hunting we planned a Minnesota Price Mural hunt over the summer of 2021. Sadly, she passed away before we made that attempt. Since then, mural hunting is how we celebrate Maddie and my family has been seeking the Prince murals. Tip: Don’t always trust navigation. Goggle maps? Apple Maps? I don’t remember, but I do know that one day we were on a wild goose chase rather than a Price Mural hunt. I digress. While you’re on your Prince mural hunt, keep an eye out for the other local murals.

In 2020, Minnesota farmers planted 77,000 acres of sunflowers. According to the National Sunflower Association, that number is just shy of the 80,000 acres Kansas, the Sunflower State, planted this year. With that said, two other Midwest neighbors have those stats beat. North Dakota planted 570,000 acres while South Dakota planted an astounding 620,000 acres….
