A reader writes to ask if the downtown business community has created a logo with a generic downtown skyline. Do any of these buildings exist in Minneapolis? (aside from the Capri and the Witch's Hat) 
After an exhaustive investigation, we have determined that the "New 612" is actually the old 713, aka Houston, Texas.
It all checks out. Thank you to the team of investigators who connected the dots and drew lines on this image. Minneapolis is not Houston.
The real scandal is that it took this long for the rest of us to realize this generic skyline wasn't our own.
UPDATE: The group "A New 612," representing the most powerful business interests in Minneapolis, has discarded their old logo depicting the skyline of Houston, Texas — updating it to look more authentically Minneapolis.
