10 N Main St, Sherburn, MN 56171
The Building
Here is what we know:
- Imagery is as of 2013
- The sign on the right side of the building states GARAGE SALE" and "_____ & Tiffany 08~08~08" . Was this building a wedding venue/event center?
- As of now, the building belongs to the City of Sherburn, indicating it is now abandoned.
- Between 2004 and 2014, the building housed a business titled D.G.I. Entertainment: Foxy's.
What exactly Foxy's was is unknown. My mom suggested it might be a strip club, so it's probably that.
The Artist

- Google reverse image search and Tineye brings up nothing. Yandex, however, yields countless photos of Tom from Tom and Jerry, as well as images of Bulma, Trunks, and Yamcha. Is this great work a collaboration between Hanna Barbera and Akira Toriyama?
- Further research, as well as an exploration of new methodologies must be done.
So how do you think this babe looks from the neck down? Is she even clothed? I guess we'll find out..

On January 11th, 2021, an expedition into Sherburn, MN was undertaken. It is with a heavy heart that I announce that the furry visage has been removed at some point after August 2013. With that said, the building remains abandoned, perhaps more obviously so than it was before, as the crumbling facade and boarded up windows indicate. Oddly enough, , the boards in the windows feature a cutout for the unlit "open" sign.

A fellow investigator made a visit to the site 3 years later. Not much has changed, for better or worse. The "open" sign has been removed. The hole in the particle board near the door's lock is bigger than before. Who has entered this building in these 3 years?
Finally, here's a cool image of the backdoor of the building.
End of an Era 04/06/2024
![it is done](images/teardown.png)
The building has been torn down. A local Facebook group brought some fascinating discussion to the table that brought much to light. A local said that "back in early 2000's, the previous owner had a teens only dance club there. It was only open about a year. Then the building started to really deteriorate"
Another said "I had a 'birthday' [sic] party in there when it was open and it was fun!".
In the building's previous lives, it was a print shop for the local newspaper, a clothing store, and other types of businesses.
With this, the case is closed on the purpose of the building. This only leaves one final question: Who made the art? I pray that one day, we will find the answer.
