This is a draft (I'll probably edit it in place) of what I'm working on to post to CFB before /u/hythloday1 puts up her long study. Please let me know if things don't make sense or I need to explain things in better ways.
Review and History. The Port of Minneapolis is the northernmost port on the Mississippi River System. Located near the convergence of the Mississippi and the Minnesota Rivers, the Port of Minneapolis is about 17 nautical miles upriver (20 kilometers or 12 miles northwest by air) of its sister city, St. Paul. Seat of Hennepin County, Minnesota, the Port of Minneapolis and St. Paul form the Twin Cities conurbation.
Music lovers visiting Minneapolis should explore First Avenue & 7th Street Entry, a live music and dance club downtown. The Guthrie Theater is a must-see for theatergoers and is one of many theaters in Minneapolis, a city second only to New York for theater seats per capita. Outside of the Twin Cities, visitors discover why the state is also known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Nature enthusiasts never run short on activities with swimming, boating and year-round fishing available.
