Downtown Minneapolis is a huge party right now. People were leaving flowers outside of First Ave. this afternoon. Then it was announced that First Ave. got permission from the city to host an all-night dance party after Corey Taylor's concert there wrapped up. It turned into a massive block party with the streets around First Ave. blocked off.
People gathered at Paisley Park in Chanhassen to pay their respects. And the house that served as his family home in Purple Rain has a purple balloon out front.
The I-35W bridge is lit up in purple. So is the Lowry Ave. Bridge. The top of the Target building is purple along with the video board and media boards at Target Field. This is all just in Minneapolis. Worldwide, the Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower, and Niagara Falls are among the gloabal landmarks that are glowing purple tonight.
Tomorrow is Purple for Prince Day. Everyone is being encouraged to wear purple.
