We've got your back, Hubert Horatio


This statue of Vice President Hubert Horatio Humphery, former Mayor of Minneapolis, stands facing the Government Center. This shot is from the entry to the tunnel between the old City Hall and the newer Gov. Ctr...Below HHH you can see the tunnel. It was designed as an arcade, with space for vendors to sell food, flowers, news, etc. But that never happened. It is an interesting counterpoint to the skyways, and an extension of an elaborate series of tunnels surrounding the Municipal Building. On some maps, these tunnels are depicted in the same style as the skyways.
