former 9th and hennepin building

from factotum posted in movies by crabapple

The site of several scenes in the movie Factotum, the building at 9th and Hennepin used to be a low-rent apartment building. The cage between the counter and lobby area was already there. Rooms were rented by the week, and there was a pornography shop in the basement.

This building is reportedly where Tom Waits lived when he stayed in Minneapolis, and is referenced by his song, "9th and Hennepin."

Today, it has been completely renovated and is a boutique hotel and an upscale restaurant.

Just a block or two from my apartment. I'm not sure if they ever explained why Marisa Tomei had that ace bandage on her hand unless it was when I was blacked out (the movie was kind of boring).

Matt Dillon and his racetrack friend had a beer there in one brief shot. Cuzzy's has all of that defaced money on the wall. I think I've only been there once or twice.
