Northern Lights Cafe

502 Central

Minneapolis

The location of this fine establishment is a head scratcher:  502 Central.  Today we have a SE 5th Street that Crosses Central Ave. NE (Highway 65) in Downtown Minneapolis.  Could this be where it was?

 

Evidence of this place is scarce – very tiny ads with not much information.  Here’s the first one:

 

Minneapolis Star, October 26, 1933

 


 

Here’s another tiny ad that ran several times:

 

Minneapolis Journal, November 11, 1934

 

The last one found was New Year’s Eve, 1935.
