The City of Lakes is recognized as the largest trade center between Chicago and Seattle. Minneapolis Location
Although Minneapolis was the second of the Twin Cities to develop, it is the larger of the two. Located west of St. Paul and, for the most part, west of the Mississippi River, the "city of lakes" covers more than 58 square miles. Interstates 94 and 35W run through the city. Newly rebuilt highway 394 provides another major vein for travelling out of the city. Minneapolis Recreation
No matter where one lives in this city known for its well-planned parks and tree-lined parkways, a lake, the Mississippi River or a creek is closeby. There are over 150 parks within the city's park system offering sailing, snowmobiling, beaches, skating rinks, golf courses, baseball and softball diamonds, tennis courts and 75 miles of trails for pedestrians, bicyclists and in-line skaters. The Park and Recreation Board coordinates sports for youths and adults, as well as concerts, plays, classes and films. A variety of arts and entertainment is offered at Target Center, The Metrodome, The Guthrie Theatre and Orchestra Hall and the "Theater District" (Historic State Theater, The Orpheum, & Hey City Theater.) Minneapolis Schools
| Minneapolis Public Schools (District 1) offers quality education that one would expect from a Minnesota school. Minneapolis offers not only quality education, but seven kinds of elementary schools. A few examples of these schools are: early education schools, contemporary schools and magnet schools. In general, public schools in Minnesota have low dropout rates, high test scores and a high number of students continuing on to colleges or universities. | | |
