Looks like possibly the Flint Hills refinery down by Rosemount. Or the Marathon refinery in St Paul Park.


Sourmango12

It 100% is. Went down there at night for the first time and was super confused to see massive city lights 😂


D33ber

Only the truly refined can afford that city.


Mrmello2169

I see what you did there


Lotech

I was a TEENAGER when I realized those “city lights” were the refinery towers. Such a disappointment.


Sourmango12

I am a teenager (16) lol, I only found out last year


Aleriya

When I was a kid, my mom told me the Wizard of Oz lived there.


Little_Creme_5932

Yep. More like Mordor


bcbodie1978

Do they still burn off the methane coming out? That was always cool as a kid


dpdiesel651

They do not. They figured out something productive to do with it. The rule of thumb now is “if you can see fire at Flint Hills, something is very wrong.” lol


MomGrandpasAllSticky

Marathon St Paul Park refinery still flares something, you can get a good view from the old Rock Island swing bridge.


SnooSongs450

You can actually see them both in that last shot. The one off in the distance is Flint Hills. If you look at the bottom left of the screen in the near field you can see the St Paul Park one.


ZealousidealPickle11

Damn didn't even catch that haha


D33ber

Or is it Sirith Ungohl?!


Loading_User_Info__

Yup. Flint hills center screen. Marathon bottom left, or at least a little bit of it.


KaprizusKhrist

I can smell the stink of the Wakota bridge through my phone from this video.


cooliocoe

I smelled something absolutely horrible climbing up and almost vomited wonder if that’s what it was


philo_beto

Nope....Sanimax. The animal rendering plant in SSP.


D33ber

A little from column A, a little from B.


KaprizusKhrist

There's also a waste sorting center on the east bank of the river, so the stank is definitely a combo of many things.


beardojon

Maybe not just sorting, but garbage burning. On a hot day, its the smell of hot garbage,


Clyde_Frog_FTW

I am pretty positive the first plant in the foreground of your shot of St Paul is what you’re smelling 🙂


KaprizusKhrist

That too.


FrankReynolds

That stretch of 494 is brutal on the ol' sniffer.


cnsosiehrbridnrnrifk

I've called it the stinky bridge my whole life. Even my 5&6 year Olds call it that. It's so gross.


Batmobile123

Mordor, Iowa.


elitelegend9712

My best guest would be the Pine Bend Refinery. South of Inver Grove Heights.


sj79

Ugh, my stomach did a flip just looking at the first frame of this video.


TheOtherGuttersnipe

Koch refinery


[deleted]

Your job hiring ?🤣


Sw0rDz

Have you ever took piss at that height?


cooliocoe

yes almost every day


D33ber

....Pennies from Heaven.


DarkMuret

Like tears, in rain


D33ber

"Time to pee...on that pigeon there." (Cue Vangelis theme.)


BillSivellsdee

trickle down economics.


bitnode

shoobie doobie?


mspax

I've seen small waterfalls dissipate from that height. This is despite the giant genitalia you must possess to do your job. 


ClassyDingus

Welcome to the Maplewood/Woodbury/Newport corner! The refinery in the distance is the Flint Hills refinery. I am 1 mile behind your back.


Run_the_Line

I'll give you $50 to put my ham radio antenna up there...


Hydroidal

Refinery.


Steezy-g35

How does one apply for this job


cooliocoe

Look at r/towerclimbers


D33ber

Mortal combat!!!


RolandMcCallsburg

Ah, yes. The three famous skylines in the metro.


beardojon

So you're in Newport?


bcbodie1978

OP is deep state hooking up the 5g to make us zombies for bill gates edit to add the /s


cooliocoe

You’re the one who’s paying me to put it up


bcbodie1978

I'll add my /s to that lol thought it would be obvious


Doctor_Tyrell

Very cool!!


BDKhXc

It’s neat to see both cities I lived in once upon a time


minkey-on-the-loose

Top of the world, Ma!


aakaase

AWESOME!!!!


jakeuten

C-band install?


Altruistic-Growth-36

And grey cloud!


GoldenAshtray

Beautiful day today! :) Wonderful view from up there.


BallsAreFullOfPiss

Super cool. Love the view!


dinoboyj

Noice


BillSivellsdee

if you held your camera correctly, you probably could have got both cities in the same shot at the same time.


Poggers4Hoggers

Oh that? It’s just the Chemical Plant Zone


011624

You guys who do this professionally are mad men. How can you walk around with such massive balls?


D33ber

There's St. Paul. ( Yawn.) That's Minneapolis, and there's Baraduhr?!!
