MINNEAPOLIS HAS A HEALTHY ARRAY OF UNIQUE
NEIGHBORHOODS TO CATER TO A DIVERSE
POPULATION WITHIN THE CITY.
MINNEAPOLIS HAS ALWAYS HAD PROGRESSIVE ARTS
AND CULTURE, YET ITS MIDWEST CHARACTER HAS
NOT DEMANDED NATIONAL ATTENTION, KEEPING THIS
CULTURE A SECRET.
MINNEAPOLIS
BOOMING SUBURBAN GROWTH STRADDLES THE
LINE BETWEEN URBAN AND RURAL APPEAL, WHILE
DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY CONTINUES TO
BOLSTER AN ALREADY IMPRESSIVE CITY CULTURE.
HISTORICALLY EDUCATION HAS BEEN A HIGH
MINNESOTA PRIORITY, AND THIS TRADITION CONTINUES.
STATE AVERAGE ACT SCORE IS HIGHEST IN THE NATION.
THE TWIN CITIES IDENTITY IS CLOSELY TIED TO THE
MINNESOTA LANDSCAPE. PARKS AND LAKES PERMEATE
THE URBAN FABRIC ACCOMMODATING THE MILD
SUMMER. SKYWALKS AND TUNNELS PROVIDE RECLUSE
FROM THE BITTERLY COLD WINTERS.
FIRST AVENUE and Seventh Street Entry has contributed to the great
success of Minneapolis’ progressive music scene. Located downtown, it has
been a launching pad for almost any act that has come out of Minneapolis,
including The Replacements, Prince, Husker Du and Atmosphere.
THE MINNEAPOLIS SOUND can be in large part attributed to the
music of Minneapolis native, Prince. It includes a compressed,
synthesizer based music, that is faster and less bass heavy than
traditional Funk Rock.
PUNK ROCK began in Minneapolis with heart-on-the-sleeve style of
The Replacements. The bands drug and alcohol fueled lifestyles, sloppy
guitar rock, and raspy vocals set a new precedent for alternative rock
across the country.
HARDCORE is still a large part of the Twin Cities culture. This began
with Husker Du, who were the first band signed to a major record label.
This cemented hardcore as a legitimate genre, and the overly melodic
style can still be heard today in the continuing underground do-it-
yourself punk scene.
HIP HOP is on the rise, gaining national attention through bands like
Atmosphere. Atmosphere’s lyrics are very much tied to Minneapolis,
and describe the band’s blue-collar lifestyle within the city.
M U S I C
LITERATURE AND SPOKEN WORD have made Minneapolis the third-
largest theater market in the US and Minneapolis is the third most literate
city in the country. The multitude of stages and theater companies in
combination with the amount of money supplied by the city has created a
vibrant literary culture in Minneapolis.
OPEN BOOK is the nations largest independent literary center, and supports
many of the literary artists in Minneapolis. Not only does the center teach
and assist writers, but also teaches book binding and printing.
THE GUTHRIE THEATER, along with three historic theaters recently
purchased by the city, provide worthy stages for the local theater
companies, as well as Broadway and Off-Broadway shows.
VISUAL ARTS in Minneapolis have experienced a boom concurrent
with the literature community. Both the Walker Arts Museum and the
Minneapolis Institute for Arts grew in size within the last few years.
THE WAREHOUSE DISTRICT played an important role in the development
of the current arts scene in the 1980’s. This Chicago style commercial
district has since been gentrified, pushing much of the current arts class to
the Lowertown neighborhood in St Paul.

POPULATIONCHANGE
WHITE POPULATION GROWTH is occurring primarily in the suburbs, such as Shakopee
and Chaska. The exception to this is along the waterfront, where old structures are being
renovated and converted from warehouses into condominiums.
GROWTH OF NON-WHITE POPULATION
is happening mostly in the locations where
white-population are moving out. There are
closer to the city center.
In terms of POPULATION DENSITY,
population within city limits has remained
static, except for downtown.
HISTORICAL GROWTH OF THE TWIN
CITIES shows that Minneapolis arose as the
dominant center of the two between 1949
and 1969. St Paul has remained dense, yet
not expanded outward nearly as much as
Minneapolis.

The SOUTHWEST SUBURBS meld city atmosphere with
high-class suburban texture. There are many activities
that function as a retreat from the inner city, such as the
Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Canterbury Racetrack and
Valley Fair.
The NORTHWEST SUBURBS vary in size, but all function as
bedroom communities. They are perceived as rural, yet retain
easy access to the city. Like the Southwest Suburbs, it is
growing as a independent commercial center.

suburbs, a product of Post-war development with a mix of
newer house developments. The biggest economic generator
is the Mall of America and the Minneapolis Airport.

The Twin Cities have an outstanding reputation for their high-
quality public education system, PLACING NEAR OR AT
THE TOP OF MOST LISTS.
Minneapolis was appointed the most literate city based on
the number of bookstores, newspaper circulation, library
resources, periodical publishing resources, educational
attainment and Internet resources. Minneapolis continues to
reach out for learning and enrichment opportunities.

CLOSE TO 4,500 MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS REGULARLY RIDE
THEIR BIKE TO WORK. Minneapolis has built an infrastructure that
promotes bicycling throughout the Twin Cities.
NICE RIDE MINNESOTA is a non-profit organization
meant to educate and demonstrate the importance of
living sustainably. It is a public bike share program that
allows people to rent bikes. It is easy to get involved in
the biking community, but some find it difficult getting
started because of the “bike attitude.” OUTSIDERS
THINK OF IT AS A HUGE CLIQUE. It is intimidating for
residents to get involved if they feel like their bike is not
up to par.

The Hiawatha LRT is geared solely towards tourists and commuters.
Some of the major connections on the transit line include the
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the Mall of America, the
Metrodome, and Target Field. THE LIGHT RAIL IS NOT DESIGNED
TO ACCOMMODATE NIGHTLIFE; it stops running from one to four
in the morning.
The proposed Southwest LRT cuts through Eden Prairie, Minnetonka,
Edina, Hopkins, St Louis Park, Calhoun-Isle and downtown
Minneapolis. Unlike the Hiawatha line, the Southwest line will
cut through higher income neighborhoods and will stem new
development, as opposed to the Hiawatha line, which connects
existing large icons of commerce, such as downtown and the airport.
As a result, these LRT systems will function differently.
THE MAJORITY OF TRANSIT USERS OWN AT LEAST ONE CAR1
1 IN 3 TRANSIT USERS EARN A HIGHER THAN MEDIAN INCOME1
