Definitely looks like a #44.

Old Arizona kind of rocks. This multi-purpose venue is nestled at the end of Eat Street and plays hosts to events, movies, performing arts, weddings and then some.
I had visited the venue last summer for the brilliant Burger Night celebration, however, with so many people around I didn’t have a chance to casually stroll the building to snap photos. A couple weekends ago I got my opportunity when I helped out a friend for a photo shoot inside Old Arizona.
Each room of the building is meticulously and creatively decorated. I was particularly impressed with the Chocolate Lounge near the front of the building. It was cozy and welcoming, ideal place to kick-up your heels and light a cigar. Check out some of my shots of the Chocolate Lounge.
Old Arizona is one of those enigmas of Minneapolitan nightlife — who goes there? What do they sell? We agree that Burger Night was rockin’ as hell, though!
Advertising-
Ad agency, Fallon McElligott, did this award-winning print ad for J.D. Hoyt’s Supper Club Steakhouse in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Little Known Fact:
Fallon McElligott gave the J.D. Hoyt’s Steakhouse $20,000 in creative services…
for free. Why? Restaurateur Mike Andrews offered the agency something better
than money: Creative freedom. “He said, ‘Push the envelope and go wild!” recalled Robert S. Barrie, the campaign’s art director. And that’s what he did, producing an irreverent, vegetarian-bashing campaign on a series of posters and billboards with such headlines as: ”We believe in the proper treatment of animals. Which is why we use only the finest sauces.” The campaign won an award for the agency, generated publicity, and, most importantly, helped boost business.

A Kickstarter project for your heart and gut:
“I’m creating the Food Truck Hub with a simple mission: Provide the support that mobile food businesses need so that the owner/operators can be out doing what they do best – making and selling high quality, locally-based foods throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul. ”
The project would fund a permanent site where food truck owners could prep and store food, meaning you get even more delicious food coming your way. And with gifts like free lunches, mugs, and VIP passes to the opening, a donation could make a solid present for the foodie in your life.
