Last call: It's a sad day in Minneapolis — Nye's Polonaise Room ends its 67-year run today. Since Nye's announced the closing in late 2014, there's been no shortage of people going through the landmark for one last polka, cocktail and photo. Actually, a lot of photos. The Nye's farewell tour has been a social media gold mine, culminating in an Instameet last weekend coordinated by @northeastminneapolis and @mncommunity. People at the event captured images from every corner, both inside and out, creating and revisiting memories. Like Instagrammer @lordhamlet73 said: "People make the places." Here are a handful of photos from the Instameet; to see more, search for #bestofnempls_nyes on Instagram.
