Cool. It looks like there is a good amount of riverfront revitalization going on. B) Maps like this are always nice because it helps to put things in perspective.

monsoon,

Many people believe that the Mississippi River divides Minneapolis and St. Paul, which isn't true because the river only separtes few areas. If you were to drive through Minneapolis-St. Paul, you would have a hard time recognizing which city you are actually in. And in regards to the two downtown areas, roughly 13 miles separate the two.

The two cities are very distinct with St. Paul having the ethnic neighborhoods, festivals, and the hometown feel while Minneapolis has the skyscrapers, arts, and nightlife.
