Minneapolis–Saint Paul is the most populous urban area in the U.S. state of Minnesota, and is composed of 182 cities and townships[5] built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers. The area is also nicknamed the Twin Cities for its two largest cities, Minneapolis, with the highest population, and Saint Paul, the state capital. It is a classic example of twin cities in the sense of geographical proximity.
The area is part of a larger U.S. Census division named Minneapolis–St. Paul–Bloomington, MN-WI. It is the country's 16th-largest metropolitan area composed of 11 counties in Minnesota and two counties in Wisconsin with a population of 3,317,308 as of the 2010 Census.[3] This larger area in turn is enveloped in the U.S. Census combined statistical area called Minneapolis–St. Paul–St. Cloud, MN-WI with a population of 3,615,902 people as of the 2010 Census, ranked the 13th most populous in the U.S.
As a reminder that there were actually two cities, people started using the phrase Dual Cities around 1872, which evolved into Twin Cities.[6] It is also common for those in out-state Minnesota or western Wisconsin to shorten the reference to simply The Cities. Despite the Twin moniker, the two cities are independent municipalities with defined borders and are quite distinct from each other. Minneapolis is somewhat younger with modern skyscrapers. Saint Paul has been likened to a European city with quaint neighborhoods and a vast collection of well preserved late-Victorian architecture.[7]
It is worth noting the differing cultural backgrounds of the two cities. Minneapolis was influenced by its early Scandinavian and Lutheran heritage and hosts the largest Somali population in North America. St. Paul was influenced by its early French, Irish and German Catholic roots and currently hosts a thriving Hmong population.[8]

The U.S. Census Bureau defines the Minneapolis–St. Paul–Bloomington Metropolitan Statistical Area as a region of 11 counties in Minnesota and two in neighboring Wisconsin, an area which had a population of 3,317,308 in 2010. The area is growing rapidly and its population is projected to increase to four million within 20 years.[9] Bloomington, home of Mall of America, is the third-largest city in the metro area and the fifth-largest in the state (behind Minneapolis, St. Paul, Rochester and Duluth). Since the 2000 Census, Bloomington has been included as a named city in the MSA, though most locals consider Bloomington a very large suburb rather than a major city in its own right.
When speaking of the Twin Cities many locals are referring to an older seven-county area entirely within Minnesota, which is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Council. The seven-county metro area contains a contiguous urbanized area stretching from each core city with the exception of a few satellite cities. The multiple "rings" of suburbs extending from the core area results from limited annexation powers in the early 20th century which halted the expansion of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.[10] Under current state legislation, an incorporated city status is more protected from annexation than townships (or towns).[10] Presently, there are 188 municipalities in the seven-county region and 334 in the total 11-county region ("Greater Twin Cities"). This differs from other major cities and associated metropolitan areas where the central city is the primary landholder.
The majority of Minnesota residents live in the Twin Cities region, but fewer than one in four people in the metro area lives in the two core cities. Changes in house prices for the region are publicly tracked on a regular basis using the Case–Shiller index; the statistic is published by Standard & Poor's and is also a component of S&P's 20-city composite index of the value of the U.S. residential real estate market.
The Twin Cities share a common cultural lore in arts, media, food, celebration, and history.[11][12] Twin Citians also still primarily work in the two core cities.[13] The metropolitan area is one of several distinct regions of Minnesota.
The prominence of the Twin Cities culturally and economically is noted in the way that it is referred to by those who live in the rest of Minnesota or far west-central Wisconsin. People from said areas often speak of going to "The Cities" when referring to one's visit to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. For many, a visit to the Twin Cities is a notable event. Residents of the Twin Cities will also, when asked where they live, often say "The Cities" and give their actual city name if prompted further.
Minneapolis and St. Paul have competed since they were founded, resulting in some duplication of effort.[14] After St. Paul completed its elaborate Cathedral in 1915, Minneapolis quickly followed up with the equally ornate Basilica of St. Mary in 1926. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the rivalry became so intense that an architect practicing in one city was often refused business in the other. The 1890 United States Census even led to the two cities arresting and/or kidnapping each other's census takers, in an attempt to keep either city from outgrowing the other.[15][16][17]
The rivalry could occasionally erupt into inter-city violence, as happened at a 1923 game between the Minneapolis Millers and the St. Paul Saints, both baseball teams of the American Association. In the 1950s, both cities competed for a major league baseball franchise (which resulted in two rival stadiums being built), and there was a brief period in the mid-1960s where the two cities could not agree on a common calendar for daylight saving time, resulting in a period of a few weeks where people in Minneapolis were one hour "behind" anyone living or traveling in St. Paul.
The cities' mutual antagonism was largely healed by the end of the 1960s, aided by the simultaneous arrival in 1961 of the Minnesota Twins of the American League and the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League, both of which identified themselves with the state as a whole (the former explicitly named for both Twin Cities) and not with either of the major cities (unlike the earlier Minneapolis Lakers). Since 1961, it has been common practice for any major sports team based in the Twin Cities to be named for Minnesota as a whole, with the Twins and Vikings followed by the Minnesota North Stars (1967–93), Minnesota Muskies (1967–68), Minnesota Moose (1994–1996), Minnesota Pipers (1968–69), Minnesota Fighting Saints (1972–77), Minnesota Kicks (1976–81), Minnesota Strikers (1984–88), Minnesota Timberwolves (1989–present), Minnesota Thunder (1990–2009), Minnesota Lynx (1999–present), Minnesota Wild (2000–present), Minnesota Swarm (2005–present), Minnesota Stars FC (2010–2013), Minnesota Valkyrie (2011-present) and Minnesota United FC (2013–present). In terms of development, the two cities remain distinct in their progress, with Minneapolis absorbing new and avant-garde architecture while St. Paul continues to carefully integrate new buildings into the context of classical and Victorian styles.[14]

Some of these cities are part of the Minneapolis–St. Paul–St. Cloud, MN-WI CSA rather than the urban or metropolitan area, but can still be considered suburbs.
Bloomington is also considered to be a major/core city, rather than a large suburb, but can be listed as either.
The Twin Cities area is the capital of the arts in the Upper Midwest, the lead region among others such as the Twin Ports (Duluth, Minnesota-Superior, Wisconsin), Madison, Wisconsin and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There is a very high per-capita attendance of theatrical, musical, and comedy events across the area, which some believe may be boosted by the cold winters but can be more realistically attributed to the large number of colleges and universities.
Sir Tyrone Guthrie founded the acclaimed Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis in 1963. Many smaller theatres are located throughout the Twin Cities. Hennepin Avenue is home to four restored vaudeville theatres that now host Broadway touring shows and other live events, including the Hennepin Center for the Arts and the Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts. The Twin Cities are second only to New York in per capita attendance at theater and arts events. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Walker Art Center are both premier art museums. Two of the finest orchestras in the country are the Minneapolis-based Minnesota Orchestra and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.[18]
Hibbing, MN native Bob Dylan (who launched his career playing free shows on the West Bank of the University of Minnesota Minneapolis campus), to the rise of punk rockers like the Suicide Commandos, the Suburbs, Hüsker Dü, The Replacements, and Soul Asylum. Minneapolis was also home to the rhythm and blues stylings of Morris Day and the Time and Prince in the 1980s. R&B mega-producing team Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis have origins in the Twin Cities, and musicians Lester Young and Jonny Lang grew up in the Twin Cities. The legendary First Avenue, considered a cornerstone of the Midwest music scene, was the starting point for many of these acts.
These later sources brought the Minneapolis music scene to national attention; the period from about 1977 to 1987 (as well as a revival in the later half of the 2000s) was a period of incredible dynamism in the Minneapolis music scene, with offshoots in the punk scene including Soul Asylum, Babes in Toyland, the Clams, and many other seminal favorites, while Prince's immense power in the industry (which peaked during this period) created a Rhythm and Blues mini-empire at his Paisley Park Studios, based in suburban Chanhassen.
While contemporary local artists continue to enjoy critical acclaim — examples include hip-hop duo Atmosphere and frontman Slug's label Rhymesayers Entertainment; progressive deathcore band After the Burial; alternative metal band American Head Charge; and commercially successful pop-rockers Semisonic — the area has also shown an unusual affinity for certain out-of-state artists. For instance, while largely unnoticed on their home turf in New York City, the Twin Cities accounted for the majority of national sales for Soul Coughing's second album Irresistible Bliss during its first eight weeks of release; this followed from the fledgling fan that Soul Coughing found here while touring for their first effort, Ruby Vroom. The Hold Steady have their origins in the Twin Cities and make frequent references to them in their lyrics.
There are a number of record labels located in the Twin Cities, including the hip-hop label Rhymesayers Entertainment (whose staff also operate a record store beneath their Uptown office)[19]
Minnesota and Wisconsin have also contributed significantly to comedy in its many different forms. Garrison Keillor is known around the country for resurrecting the old-style radio comedy with A Prairie Home Companion. Local television had the satirical show The Bedtime Nooz in the 1960s, while area natives Lizz Winstead and Craig Kilborn helped create the increasingly influential Daily Show decades later. The standup scene of Minneapolis–St. Paul during the 1980s and 1990s was a major force in national comedy. The Brave New Workshop, the nation's oldest satirical sketch comedy theatre, is in Downtown Minneapolis, showing popular sketch comedy shows and its famous "Late Night Improv".[20] HUGE Improv Theater in Uptown Minneapolis is home to Improv A Go Go, the Twin Cities Improv Festival and numerous improvisational comedy shows throughout the week.[21] Stevie Ray's Improv Company, founded by Stevie Ray and Pamela Mayne in 1989, introduced the country to such stars as Maria Bamford, and is housed at The New Chanhassen Dinner Theatres. Joel and Ethan Coen have produced many films featuring dark comedy, and numerous others brought the offbeat cult shows Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Let's Bowl to the national cable-waves from the Twin Cities.
There are a number of lakes in the region, and cities in the area have some very extensive park systems for recreation. Organized recreation includes the Great River Energy bicycle festival, the Twin Cities Marathon, and the U.S. pond hockey championships. Some studies have shown that area residents take advantage of this, and are among the most physically fit in the country, though others have disputed that. Nonetheless, medicine is a major industry in the region and the southeasterly city of Rochester, as the University of Minnesota has joined other colleges and hospitals in doing significant research, and major medical device manufacturers started in the region (the most prominent is Medtronic). Technical innovators have brought important advances in computing, including the Cray line of supercomputers.
It is common for residents of the Twin Cities area to own or share cabins and other properties along lakes and forested areas in the central and northern regions of the state, and weekend trips "up North" happen through the warmer months. Ice fishing is also a major pastime in the winter, although each year some overambitious fishermen find themselves in dangerous situations when they venture out onto the ice too early or too late. Hunting, snowmobiling, ATV riding and numerous other outdoor activities are also popular. This connectedness with the outdoors also brings a strong sense of environmentalism to many Minnesotans.
In 2011 and 2012, the American College of Sports Medicine named Minneapolis–Saint Paul the healthiest metropolitan area in America.[22][23]
According to the 2006–2008 American Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area was 3,197,225. Approximately 49.7% of the population was male and 50.3% were female.[24]
The age composition was as follows:[24]
Under 5 years: 7.2%

Approximately 91.2% of the metropolitan area's population was native to the United States. Approximately 90.6% were born in the U.S. while 0.6% were born in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, or born abroad to American parents. The rest of the population (8.8%) were foreign-born.
The highest percentages of immigrants came from Asia (38.2%), Latin America (25.4%), and Africa (20.1%); smaller percentages of newcomers came from Europe (13.1%), other parts of North America (3.0%), and Oceania (0.2%).
English is by far the most commonly spoken language at home by residents; approximately 88.0% of the population over the age of five spoke only English at home. Spanish speakers made up 4.1% of the population; speakers of Asian languages made up 3.6% of the population; speakers of other Indo-European languages made up 2.4% of the population. Individuals who spoke languages other than the ones above represented the remaining 1.9% of the populace.[25]
Minneapolis–Saint Paul is also a major center for religion in the state, especially Christianity. The state headquarters of the missionary efforts of four churches are found here: the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota, the Presbyterian Synod of Lakes and Prairies, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The Presbyterian and LDS churches both have missions in Saint Paul, Minneapolis and Bloomington.
The headquarters of the former American Lutheran Church (ALC), Evangelical Lutheran Church, Lutheran Free Church and the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church were located in Minneapolis; the headquarters of Augsburg Fortress publishing house still is. The Minneapolis Area Synod and the Saint Paul Area Synod are the first and third largest synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), respectively.
The Evangelical Free Church of America has its headquarters in Bloomington, and the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations is headquartered in Plymouth, along with its seminary and a Bible School.
The Twin Cities are home to several Old Belief Society opened a temple in North East Minneapolis in 2010.
Minneapolis is where the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association started and was home for more than fifty years.

Some other sports teams gained their names from being in Minnesota. The Los Angeles Lakers get their name from once being based in Minneapolis, the "City of Lakes" (Minne- mní "water" in Dakota, polis- "city" in Greek). Minnesota is also known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". The Dallas Stars got their name from being a Minnesota team, the Minnesota North Stars, as Minnesota is also known as "The North Star State". To avoid favoring either of the Twin Cities, most teams based in the area use only the word Minnesota in their name, rather than Minneapolis or St. Paul.
The Twin Cities are one of just twelve American metropolitan areas to have teams in all four major sports - MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL.
The annual Twin Cities Marathon is held in the fall with a course running through Minneapolis and St. Paul. Minneapolis was the birthplace of Rollerblade and is a center for inline skating as well as home to the most golfers per capita of any city in the U.S. Additionally, water skiing got its start on Lake Pepin, a short distance southeast of the metropolitan area.
In January 1992, Minneapolis played host to Super Bowl XXVI. It was the furthest north that a Super Bowl has ever been played.
The Republican National Committee held their national nominating convention at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul in 2008. Prior, both cities had combined to submit bids to host both the 2008 Democratic National Convention and the 2008 Republican National Convention. They competed against Denver and New York to host the Democratic Convention, and against New York, Cleveland and Tampa to host the Republican Convention. Previously, Minneapolis was host to the 1892 Republican National Convention.
National General Election results show that Minnesota votes predominantly Democratic for presidential candidates. Since 1960 only once has a Republican won the Minnesotan presidential vote, Richard Nixon in 1972, who went on to win the national election that year by a landslide. Minnesota also favored native son Walter Mondale in 1984, being the only state that Ronald Reagan did not win in that election. Local Minnesota election results show that the governorship does not share the same Democratic leaning results, having alternated between Democratic and Republican run governorships in the last 50 years. Jesse Ventura won the governorship running on the Reform Party ticket in 1998, becoming the only candidate not affiliated with the two major parties to win the election in the last 50 years.
The Minneapolis–Saint Paul area is home to 18 of Minnesota's 19 Fortune 500 headquarters - UnitedHealth Group, Target, Best Buy, Supervalu, CHS, 3M, US Bancorp, Medtronic, General Mills, Land O'Lakes, Xcel Energy, Ameriprise Financial, CH Robinson Worldwide, Mosaic, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, Ecolab, St. Jude Medical and Nash Finch. Large private companies include Cargill, Carlson, Andersen, Erickson Companies and Schwan Foods. Foreign companies with U.S. headquarters in the Twin Cities include Allianz, Canadian Pacific, Coloplast, ING, RBC and Pearson VUE. The area has the second largest economy in the Midwest, behind only Chicago.[28][29] The metro area continues to grow at a rapid pace. Currently, the Twin Cities is the second largest medical device manufacture center in North America.[30]
The first European settlement in the region was near what is now known as the town of Stillwater, Minnesota. The city is approximately 20 miles (30 km) from downtown Saint Paul and lies on the western bank of the St. Croix River, which forms the border of central Minnesota and Wisconsin. Another settlement that began fueling early interest in the area was the outpost at Fort Snelling, which was constructed from 1820 to 1825 at the confluence of the Minnesota River and the Mississippi River.
Fort Snelling held jurisdiction over the land south of Saint Anthony Falls, thus a town known as Saint Anthony grew just north of the river. For several years, the only European resident to live on the south bank of the river was Colonel John H. Stevens, who operated a ferry service across the river. As soon as the land area controlled by Fort Snelling was reduced, new settlers began flocking across to the new village of Minneapolis. The town grew quickly, and Minneapolis and Saint Anthony eventually merged. On the eastern side of the Mississippi, a few villages such as Pig's Eye and Lambert's Landing developed and would soon grow to become Saint Paul.
Natural geography played a role in the settlement and development of the two cities. The Mississippi River Valley in this area is defined by a series of stone bluffs that line both sides of the river. Saint Paul grew up around Lambert's Landing, the last place to unload boats coming upriver at an easily accessible point, some seven miles (11 km) downstream from Saint Anthony Falls, the geographic feature that, due to the value of its immense water power for industry, defined the location of Minneapolis and its prominence as the Mill City. The falls can be seen today from the Mill City Museum, housed in the former Washburn "A" Mill, which was among the world's largest mills in its time.
The oldest farms in the state are located in Washington County, the eastern most county on the Minnesota side of the metropolitan area. Joseph Haskell was Minnesota's first farmer, harvesting the first crops in the state in 1840 on what is now part of Afton Township on Trading Post Trail.[31]
The Grand Excursion, a trip into the Upper Midwest sponsored by the Rock Island Railroad, brought more than a thousand curious travelers into the area by rail and steamboat in 1854. The next year, in 1855, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published The Song of Hiawatha, an epic poem based on the Ojibwe legends of Hiawatha. A number of natural area landmarks were included in the story, such as Lake Minnetonka and Minnehaha Falls. Tourists inspired by the coverage of the Grand Excursion in eastern newspapers and those who read Longfellow's story flocked to the area in the following decades.
At one time, the region also had numerous passenger rail services, including both interurban streetcar systems and interstate rail. Due to the width of the river at points further south, the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area was briefly one of the few places where the Mississippi could be crossed by railroad. A great amount of commercial rail traffic also ran through the area, often carrying grain to be processed at mills in Minneapolis or delivering other goods to Saint Paul to be transported along the Mississippi. Saint Paul had long been at the head of navigation on the river, prior to a new lock and dam facility being added upriver in Minneapolis.
Passenger travel hit its peak in 1888 with nearly eight million traversing to and from the Saint Paul Union Depot. This amounted to approximately 150 trains daily. Before long, other rail crossings were built farther south and travel through the region began to decline. In an effort by the rail companies to combat the rise of the automobile, some of the earliest streamliners ran from Chicago to Minneapolis/Saint Paul and eventually served distant points in the Pacific Northwest. Today, the only vestige of this interstate service comes by Amtrak's Empire Builder train, running once daily in each direction. It is the railroad's busiest long-distance train and is named after James J. Hill, a railroad tycoon who settled on Summit Avenue in Saint Paul at what is now known as the James J. Hill House.
Like many Northern cities that grew up with the Industrial Revolution, Minneapolis and St. Paul experienced shifts in their economic base as heavy industry declined, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. Along with the economic decline of the 60s and 70s came population decline in the central city areas, white flight to suburbs,[32] and, in the summer of 1967, race riots on Minneapolis's North Side.[33] By the 1980s and 1990s, however, Minneapolis and St. Paul were frequently cited as former Rust Belt cities that had made successful transitions to service, high-technology, finance, and information economies.[34]
Along with much of Minnesota, the Twin Cities area was shaped by water and ice over the course of millions of years. The land of the area sits on top of thick layers of sandstone and limestone laid down as seas encroached upon and receded from the region. Erosion caused natural caves to develop, which were expanded into mines when white settlers came to the area. In the time of Prohibition, at least one speakeasy was built into these hidden spaces—eventually refurbished as the Wabasha Street Caves in Saint Paul.
Lakes across the area were formed and altered by the movement of glaciers. This left many bodies of water in the region, and unusual shapes may appear. For example, Lake Minnetonka out toward the western side of the Twin Cities consists of a complex arrangement of channels and large bays. Elevations in the metropolitan area range from 1,376 feet (419 m) above sea level in the northwest metro to 666 feet (203 m) at the edge of the Mississippi River in the southeast.
Because it is comparatively easy to dig through limestone and there are many natural and man-made open spaces, it has often been proposed that the area should examine the idea of building subways for public transportation. In theory, it could be less expensive in the Twin Cities than in many other places, but the cost would still be much greater than surface projects.
Main article: Climate of the Twin Cities
Owing to its northerly latitude and inland location, the Twin Cities experience the coldest climate of any major metropolitan area in the United States.[35] However, due to its southern location in the state and aided further by the urban heat island, the Twin Cities is one of the warmest locations in Minnesota.[36] The average annual temperature at the Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport is 45.4 °F (7.4 °C); 3.5 °F colder than Winona, Minnesota, and 8.8 °F warmer than Roseau, Minnesota.[37] Monthly average daily high temperatures range from 21.9 °F (−5.6 °C) in January to 83.3 °F (28.5 °C) in July; the average daily minimum temperatures for the two months are 4.3 °F (−15.4 °C) and 63.0 °F (17 °C) respectively.[38]
Minimum temperatures of 0 °F (−18 °C) or lower are seen on an average of 29.7 days per year, and 76.2 days do not have a maximum temperature exceeding the freezing point. Temperatures above 90 °F (32 °C) occur an average of 15 times per year. High temperatures above 100 °F have been common in recent years; the last occurring on July 6, 2012. The lowest temperature ever reported at the Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport was −34 °F (−36.6 °C) on January 22, 1936; the highest, 108 °F (42 °C), was reported on July 14 of the same year.[39]
Precipitation averages 29.41 in (74.7 cm) per year, and is most plentiful in June (4.34 in, 11 cm) and February (0.79 in, 2 cm) the least so. The greatest one-day rainfall amount was 9.15 in (23.2 cm), reported on July 23, 1987. The city's record for lowest annual precipitation was set in 1910, when 11.54 in (29.3 cm) fell throughout the year; coincidentally, the opposite record was set the following year, which observed a total 40.15 in (102 cm).[40] At an average of 56.3 in (143 cm) per year, snowfall is generally abundant (though some recent years have proved an exception).[41]
The Twin Cities area takes the brunt of many types of extreme weather, including high-speed straight-line winds, tornadoes, flash floods, drought, heat, bitter cold, and blizzards. The costliest weather disaster in Twin Cities history was a derecho event on May 15, 1998. Hail and Wind damage exceeded $950 million, much of it in the Twin Cities.[42] Other memorable Twin Cities weather related events include the tornado outbreak on May 6, 1965, the Armistice Day Blizzard on November 11, 1940, and the Halloween Blizzard of 1991.
A normal growing season in the metro extends from late April or early May through the month of October.[43] The USDA places the area in the 4a plant hardiness zone.[44]
Buildings and structures
The four tallest buildings in the area are located in downtown Minneapolis. The first skyscraper built west of the Mississippi in 1929 was the Foshay Tower. Today there is some contention over exactly which building is the tallest—most Minnesotans would immediately think of the IDS Center if queried on the point, although most sources seem to agree that Capella Tower is slightly taller. But in early 2005, it was found that the IDS Center is taller by a 16-foot (5 m) washroom garage on top, which brings its total height to 792 feet (241 m). Capella Tower and the Wells Fargo Center only differ in height by a foot or two, a rather negligible amount.
Buildings have gone up and been torn down rapidly across the region. Some city blocks have been demolished six or seven times since the mid-19th century, and will undoubtedly reach an eighth or ninth cycle in short order.[45] No single architectural style dominates the region. Instead, the cities have a mish-mash of different designs, although structures from a few eras stand out. There were once a great many stone buildings constructed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style (or at least Romanesque-inspired variants). Minneapolis City Hall is one prominent example of this, though buildings of all types—including personal residences such as the James J. Hill House—were similarly designed.[46] A few decades later, Art Deco brought several structures that survive today, including St. Paul City Hall, the Foshay Tower, and the Minneapolis Post Office. The style of buildings in the two cities varies greatly. In Minneapolis, the trend has been buildings with sleek lines and modern glass facades while St. Paul tends to follow a more traditional style of buildings so as to better accompany its older structures.
St. Paul and Minneapolis in particular went through some massive urban renewal projects in the post-World War II era, so a vast number of buildings are now lost to history. Some of the larger and harder to demolish structures have survived.[45] In fact, the area might be signified more by bridges than buildings. A series of reinforced concrete arch spans crossing the Mississippi River were built in the 1920s and 1930s. They still carry daily traffic, but remain pleasing to the eye despite their age (a number have undergone major repair work, but retain the original design). Several of the bridges are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They include the 10th Avenue Bridge, Intercity Bridge (Ford Parkway), Robert Street Bridge, and the longest, the 4119 ft (1255 m) Mendota Bridge next to Fort Snelling. The area is also noted for having the first known permanent crossing of the Mississippi. That structure is long gone, but a series of Hennepin Avenue Bridges have been built since then at the site. Both downtowns have extensive networks of enclosed pedestrian bridges known as skyways.
Several prominent buildings in Minneapolis have helped modernize the city. These include the Walker Art Center, Central Public Library, Weisman Art Museum and the Guthrie Theater. Opened in April 2005, the new Walker Art Center, nearly double in size, includes increased indoor and outdoor facilities. The Walker is recognized internationally as a singular model of a multidisciplinary arts organization and as a national leader for its innovative approaches to audience engagement. The Guthrie received a large amount of media coverage for its opening in June, 2006. The design is the work of architect Jean Nouvel and is a 285,000 square foot (26,500 m²) facility that houses three theaters: (1) the theater's signature thrust stage, seating 1,100, (2) a 700-seat proscenium stage, and (3) a black-box studio with flexible seating. In 2002 the National Trust for Historic Preservation put the old Guthrie building on its list of the most endangered historic properties in the United States in response to plans announced by the Walker Art Center to expand on the land occupied by the theater. However, the original Guthrie building was torn down in 2006. These building projects have rejuvenated the downtown area.

In the 20th century, the Twin Cities area expanded outward significantly. Automobiles made it possible for suburbs to grow greatly. The area now has a number of freeways to transport people by car. The area incorporates a large number of traffic cameras and ramp meters to monitor and manage traffic congestion. There is some use of high-occupancy vehicle (carpool) lanes, though it is not as pervasive as in other regions. When the roads do become congested, buses are allowed to drive on road shoulders to bypass traffic jams.
Interstate 94 comes into the area from the east and heads northwest from Minneapolis. Two spur routes form the I-494/I-694 loop, and I-394 continues west when I-94 turns north. Additionally, Interstate 35 splits in Burnsville in the southern part of the Twin Cities region, bringing I-35E into St. Paul and I-35W into Minneapolis. (This is one of only two examples of an Interstate highway splitting off into branches and then rejoining into one again; the other split occurs in Dallas-Fort Worth, where I-35 splits into I-35E for motorists going to Dallas and I-35W for traffic heading into Fort Worth.) They join together again to the north in Columbus, just south of Forest Lake and continue to the highway's terminus in Duluth.
On Wednesday, August 1, 2007, a large portion of the I-35W Mississippi River bridge near University Avenue in the city of Minneapolis collapsed into the Mississippi River around 6:05pm CDT.[47][48] A replacement bridge opened on Thursday, September 18, 2008.

The main airport in the region is Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport (MSP), which is a major hub for Delta Air Lines. A number of other smaller airports are also in the area, a number of which are owned and operated by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (the same organization operates the main MSP airport). Some people even commute by air to the Twin Cities from the northern part of the state.
Metro Transit, by far the biggest bus service provider in the area, owes its existence to the old streetcar lines that ran in the area. Metro Transit provides about 95% of the public transit rides in the region, although some suburbs have other bus services. The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities operates a free bus system between its campuses. This system includes the Campus Connector Bus Rapid Transit line which travels between the Minneapolis and St. Paul Campuses by a dedicated bus line, and throughout the two campuses on normal access roads. The METRO Blue Line LRT (light rail) began operations in June 2004, connecting downtown Minneapolis, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and the Mall of America in Bloomington, is run by Metro Transit. In many ways a return to what existed in the past, it is being used as a stepping-stone to other projects.
A variety of rail services are currently being pondered by state and local governments, including neighborhood streetcar systems, intercity light rail service, and commuter rail options out to exurban regions. In addition, Minnesota is one of several states in the Midwest examining the idea of setting up high-speed rail service using Chicago as a regional hub.[49]
The Minneapolis–St. Paul area has been criticized for inadequate public transportation.[50] Compared to many other cities its size, the public transportation system in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area is less robust. As the metropolitan area has grown, the roads and highways have been updated and widened, but traffic volume is growing faster than the projects needed to widen them, and public transportation has not expanded enough to commensurate with the population. The Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area is ranked as the fifth worst for congestion growth of similarly-sized U.S. metropolitan areas.[50] Although a light rail line, the METRO Blue Line, was added in 2004, additional lines and spurs are needed to upgrade public transportation in the Twin Cities. Another LRT, the METRO Green Line connecting downtown Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities campus and downtown St. Paul along University Avenue began construction in 2011, and is estimated to open for riders in 2014.[51] Plans are underway for Green Line extension connecting downtown Minneapolis to the southwest suburb of Eden Prairie. A northwest LRT (Blue Line extension) along Bottineau Boulevard is being planned from downtown Minneapolis to Brooklyn Park. The METRO Orange Line BRT (bus rapid transitway) will open in 2013, connecting downtown Minneapolis with Lakeville to the south along I-35W. The METRO Red Line BRT opened in 2013 connecting the Mall of America in Bloomington with Lakeville along Cedar Avenue through the southern suburbs. Additionally, the Northstar Line commuter rail line connecting Minneapolis with Big Lake opened in November 2009; the line may be extended to St. Cloud as ridership numbers warrant.
Main article: Media in Minneapolis–St. Paul
The Twin Cities have two major daily newspapers: the Star Tribune and the Saint Paul Pioneer Press. Additionally, the Minnesota Daily serves the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus and surrounding neighborhoods. There is one general-interest neighborhood weekly newspaper still in the cities: The East Side Review, devoted to the 90,000 residents in the eastern third of St. Paul. Other weekly papers are devoted to specific audiences/demographics including City Pages.
The region is currently ranked as the 15th largest television market according to Nielson Media Research. Twin Cities Public Television operates both KTCA and KTCI. Hubbard Broadcasting built by Stanley E. Hubbard owns KSTP and has a second TV station, KSTC, which is not affiliated with any network. Diversified from radio, KSTP-TV became the first television channel to air in the region with a show reaching 3,000 television sets in 1948, and the 17th station to broadcast in the U.S.[52]
KMSP and WFTC have now merged as well, and KARE currently has a marketing agreement with KPXM-TV. The only station with its main studios in Minneapolis is WCCO, while St. Paul is host to KSTP/KSTC, KTCA/KTCI, and WUCW. KARE has a sprawling broadcasting complex in west suburban Golden Valley. KMSP is located in southwest suburban Eden Prairie. Other stations are located in the suburbs. For much of the last two decades, WCCO and KARE have shared in having the most popular evening newscasts of the area channels. On the other end, KSTP has struggled to maintain ratings on its news programs. KMSP has had a 9 o'clock newscast since at least the early 1990s when it was an independent channel.
Communities in the region have their own Public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable television channels. One channel, the Metro Cable Network, is available on channel 6 on cable systems across the seven-county region.
Several television programs originating in the Twin Cities have been aired nationally on terrestrial and cable TV networks. KTCA created the science program Newton's Apple and distributes a children's program today. A few unusual comedic shows also originated in the area. In the 1980s, KTMA (predecessor to KMWB) created a number of low-budget shows, including cult classic Mystery Science Theater 3000. The short-lived Let's Bowl started on KARE, and PBS series Mental Engineering originated on the St. Paul cable access network.
The radio market in the Twin Cities is considered to be somewhat smaller than for TV, ranked 16th. For decades, WCCO radio was the most well-known and most popular broadcaster in the region, with an all-day talk format. WCCO was eventually pushed out of the top spot by KQRS-FM, a classic rock station with a popular morning show.
KSTP also has some fairly popular radio stations, with pop music format on FM and ESPN Radio on AM. KSTP-AM and FM are owned by Hubbard Broadcasting. In 1985, Hubbard – valued at $400 million – was one of the larger corporate media companies in the United States; in 2005, valued at US $1.2 billion, Hubbard is a fairly small major-market media operation.
The Twin Cities have a peculiar mix of commercial and non-commercial radio. The city's market is dominated by Clear Channel Communications which operates seven stations but two small independent stations are award winners—KUOM operated by the University of Minnesota and KFAI public access radio in Cedar Riverside.[53]
Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) is also a major force in the state and across the country, best known across the U.S. for the variety show A Prairie Home Companion. Doing business under the name American Public Media, the company is the second largest producer of national public radio content, behind National Public Radio (of which MPR is an affiliate).
The Twin Cities is also home to many independent media organizations, including The UpTake, MinnPost.com and Twin Cities Daily Planet.
The United States Navy currently has one ship named for the region, the USS Minneapolis–Saint Paul, a Los Angeles-class submarine launched in 1983. Previously, two sets of two ships each had carried the names USS Minneapolis and USS Saint Paul.

Pennsylvania Sets New Sports Betting Record With Over $460M in September
By Sam Shefrin | Oct 18, 2020, 1:50pm
The sports betting industry in Pennsylvania is alive and well as the state posted a new record during September. In September, the sports betting handle was reported at $362.7 million, a 26.8% increase from August.
Pennsylvania actually set an industry record just a month ago, but the September numbers easily surpassed that mark. This trend is consistent with the rest of the sports betting industry in the US, but the state of Pennsylvania has to be thrilled with this huge increase.
The start of the 2020 NFL regular season was a big reason for the increase in September, but so was the launch of the Barstool Sportsbook app. It has not taken long for the Barstool app to become one of the most popular betting options in the state.
The previous record in Pennsylvania was just $265 million, and that was set in August 2020. This indicates that the industry in the state has fully recovered from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Pennsylvania remains one of the biggest sports betting markets in the United States, and there is still plenty of room to grow.
Mobile Still Leads the Way
Still Trailing New Jersey
All Gambling Numbers Strong
Pennsylvania has a strong mobile sports betting market, which remains the most popular way to bet on sports. Mobile sports betting accounted for $414.1 million of the total during September, close to 90% of the total.
In August, mobile sports betting accounted for 88% of the total bets, so the industry's mobile portion continues to grow. Retail sportsbooks are now open after being shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Most sports bettors find it much easier to place a bet online rather than traveling to a retail sportsbook location.
Pennsylvania has emerged as one of the top sports betting markets in the United States, but it continues to trail the state of New Jersey. New Jersey has set a new industry record for the second straight month, and those numbers are expected to continue to grow.
New Jersey just posted a sports betting handle of $748.6 million during September, shattering the previous record by almost $80 million.
Outside of New Jersey, a few other states have already posted their September figures, and it shows a considerable growth in the entire industry. Indiana, Iowa, and West Virginia have all seen increases in both total sports betting handle and sports betting revenue.
Indiana reported sports betting handle figure of more than $207 million during September, which was an increase of more than 22%. Indiana has become the leader in the Midwest portion of the United States.
West Virginia announced that the sports betting handle increased by more than 90%, up to $76.9 million during September. Iowa saw sports betting handle rise by almost 44 percent up to $72.4 million last month.

A highly acclaimed bike hire scheme is set to launch in Ainsdale.
We are delighted to launch our new bike hire facility at beautiful Ainsdale, which will offer those without a bike the opportunity to experience this very special area on two wheels.
Bike & Go, which currently operates from a number of stations across Merseyside, including Formby and Southport, will open at Ainsdale train station this Friday, August 26. The scheme was recently praised by a UK division of the travel giant TripAdvisor when it was included in a list of the top seven bicycle hire companies drawn up by its subsidiary rental company Holiday Lettings. And to mark the opening, Bike & Go are offering free rentals to new and existing subscribers to the scheme until Friday, September 2.
Bike & Go offers bike hire facilities from almost 70 participating train stations across much of the North West, North East and Yorkshire, East and South East of England, and Scotland, with more locations opening this year.
To hire a Bike & Go bike, users simply need to register their card details online, which they can do via smart phones, tablets, or at home, and pay the annual £10 subscription fee. They will then receive a user number via email which will allow immediate bike hire at just £3.80 for 24 hours whilst they wait for their Bike & Go membership card.


As God caused vegetation to grow in the summer and to be dormant in the winter, He consequently constituted man to thrive on fresh garden produce during the summer and on dry during the winter. The fact that no tree can survive the summer without its leaves, but that it does well without them during the winter, again points out that a human being cannot fare well if he neglects to make his diet of fresh garden produce when in season, but that he can fare splendidly on dry, winter, foodstuffs when the fresh are out of season.
Moreover, as the Lord did not from the beginning provide present-day transportation facilities, did not make it possible for man to import or to export foodstuffs from one remote locality to another, He constituted him to thrive best on the things which his own locality or the one closest to it can produce. To him, therefore, all foods grown elsewhere become secondary, and those which are not in season he does not need. In other words, while the fresh produce is the best for one's health in the summer, the dry is the best for him in the winter, unless he lives where the fresh produce naturally grows during the winter months, too.
In pre-engine transportation times only a "ruler" could obtain out-of-season foodstuffs: strawberries, cherries, etc., when the snow flurries covered the trees and the icicles spanned from the roof to the ground.
Having this in mind Inspiration warned: "When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: and put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat." Prov. 23:1-3.
In Solomon's time only a ruler could have used the numerous dainties made from white flour refined sugar, and other commercial foods, but modern machinery now brings the ruler's "meat" to everybody's table, and consequently the modernized world is feeding on "deceitful meat," meat that does not supply the body's needs, that does as much good to men as a fisherman's bait on a hook and line does to a fish that goes after it.
Canning of foodstuffs has become another health-destroying device, because the majority of people try to subsist on canned goods the year around. If you wish a prosperous and happy life, then break away from artificial, lawless life and thus from the world's ills.


Rim a margarita or highball glass with lime and coat with salt. Next, fill the glass with ice and set aside. In a shaker with ice combine tequila, cointreau, and lime juice. Shake well a strain into the glass. Float the Grand Marnier on top, and squeeze the lime and drop it in.

Alumni Profile: Andrew Wirtanen
platform118i
My name is Andrew Wirtanen, and I graduated from CCCC in 2002 with an Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts and a PC Service Technician certificate.
I enrolled at CCCC after graduating from Barnstable High School, initially to give myself more time to think about my long-term plan. Back then, I truly enjoyed creating websites and upgrading computers. But at the time I could not decide on a four-year Bachelor's program and wanted to explore my options.
When I set foot on campus in the summer of 2001, I wasn't sure what to expect. But I quickly discovered the passion, support, and experience of the faculty, staff, and community at CCCC. The advisors at CCCC not only helped me plan my class schedule to allow me to graduate in 1.5 years, but they also helped me prepare to transfer to a Bachelor's program.
I transferred seamlessly into the BS in Information Technology program at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in upstate New York. At RIT, I was introduced to user experience design and was eventually led back to Massachusetts for the MS in Human Factors in Information Design program at Bentley University.
Today, I'm a user experience designer at Citrix in Raleigh, North Carolina. I collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to build software applications that are pragmatic, user friendly, and enjoyable for our clients. I love my job and my career, and I owe a lot of that to my beginnings at CCCC.

Fetzer has been pioneering earth-friendly winemaking long before it was a buzzword. Ever since Barney Fetzer founded the company in 1968, Fetzer Vineyards has been on a mission to go beyond making great wine to also making a positive impact on the planet. Pursuing an earth-first philosophy and groundbreaking practices, he charted Fetzer in a new direction, and the industry is still catching up.
As the largest wine company in the world to receive B Corp certification, Fetzer has joined the growing movement toward harnessing the power of private enterprise to create public benefit. It is the first winery in California to operate on 100 percent renewable energy, the first wine company in the world to receive zero-waste certification, and the first winery to publicly report its greenhouse gas emissions with the climate registry.
However, being sustainable is not enough. Fetzer is on a mission to become better than sustainable. The company set the ambitious goal to become completely net positive by 2030. A fresh take on a familiar agenda, net positive is a new framework for doing business in which a company aims to put back more into society, the environment and the global economy than it takes out.
Spread across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors, companies that take a net positive approach share an ambition to achieve a positive social impact on the world. Rather than 'do less harm,' net positive commits organizations to doing more good overall.
By following a clear set of principles, net positive organizations are restoring natural capital, building social capital and establishing a new way of doing business.
Fetzer is working to achieve a positive corporate footprint through a series of on-site initiatives and in the process have set some stringent environmental goals. The company plans to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and become carbon neutral by 2016. By 2020, the goal is to reduce energy use by 20 percent, achieve a 99.9 percent solid waste diversion rate and attain 100 percent certification of sustainable grape suppliers. The company is already the largest organic wine grape grower in the U.S.
Fetzer is also committed to water conservation: In 2012, the company adopted the use of a new cleaning product for its wine tanks, called peracetic acid, which requires less water to be used for rinsing. This saved over 200,000 gallons of water annually and also reduces the energy needed to pump the water.
That same year, the company started removing lees (yeast residues) from wine tanks, and shipping this byproduct to a third-party. The removal of the lees greatly reduces the solids from the waste-water stream and the biological oxygen demand (BOD) that it creates. This proved to be not only good for the planet, but brought in a profit as well. In 2014, Fetzer removed 202 tons of lees and earned over $48,000 for this byproduct.
Fetzer is also committed to protecting and enhancing wildlife and biodiversity through sustainable farming practices. Regenerative agriculture helps to increase the health and fertility of the soil and the environment. As opposed to conventional farming with harmful chemicals that deplete the health of soils and pollute the environment, the company practices regenerative agriculture which helps increase the health and fertility of the surrounding environment.
One of Fetzer's core commitments is 'being human.' The company believes that being net positive means not only being good to the environment, but also working to enrich the lives of its employees and wider community. Continuous improvement is a core value at Fetzer Vineyards and includes technical on-the-job skills based programs, strategic developmental training for leaders and robust safety training.
"We prioritize employee engagement, recruitment and retention," Prigge said. The company frequently awards employees for exciting innovations in the field of sustainability. Because of this, Fetzer has attracted a whole slew of aspirational millennials who want to support companies that are doing good.
Fetzer's regenerative business strategy aims to move the organization beyond its history of sustainability and toward creating a positive impact in the environment and in our communities. The aggressive target of becoming net positive is not only industry leading, but could also create the demand for more wineries and consumer goods companies to move in this direction.
Barney Fetzer had a simple philosophy — what's good for the earth is good for the grape. Better grapes produce better wine. And, he used this philosophy to build one of the greenest wineries in the world. Pioneers in sustainability, Fetzer Vineyards is continuing its legacy of hard work, rebellious thinking and wines that make a difference.
