Clever, distinctive and oh so Winona. Every school child knows about the Oregon Treaty of 1846. The treaty settled the primary United States-Canada border on 49th Latitude North. Now, 60 feet up, there’s a highly visible reminder that Winona is at the 44th latitude north of the Equator. Who knew. Signage has been hoisted on the new Levee hotel, which is scheduled to accept its first guests in November. For now, constuction barriers remain in place. Image: Steve Lunde
