Minneapolis Overview

The Twin Cities, set on opposite sides of the Mississippi River, initially established themselves in the agricultural business. Waves of Scandinavians and Germans farmed the fertile prairie, then shipped their grain to the cities to be milled and transported to the rest of the nation. These days Minneapolis and St. Paul are more likely associated with arts and culture than farming; they are home to terrific museums and one of the finest and most active theater and fine arts communities in the nation. Minneapolis is also fast becoming a hot spot for architectural gems, including the Weisman Art Museum, the Walker Art Center, and the new Guthrie Theatre. Read More

    IN THE WARMER MONTHS, Twin Cities denizens tumble out of their houses like snow melting off a roof. Unless you feel rejuvenated by the tangled web of training wheels, 20-foot dog leashes, and entwined lovers around the Minneapolis lakes, it's time to get away. Hear the wind blow through prairie grass, feel the river sand between your, and let the only sweat you encounter be your own.
