Twin Tweets

Minneapolis and St. Paul - the TWIN Cities - a great place to live and visit!

Here are some Tourist Tweets...

It all started here . . . river falls, wheat and a need for flour 



The Guthrie Theater and Mill City Museum - a must see



Walk the Stone Arch Bridge - great  view of MInneapolis



On the bridge looking at St. Anthony Falls -it provided the power that allowed the cities to grow.

Minnesota Center for Book Arts - Hard to get Nancy out of here.

The James J. Hill House

Rags to Riches Story of James J. Hill-coming from Canada with nothing and building the Great Northern Railway.  Built in 1891 for under 1 million - 36,000 sq. ft.  Summit Avenue in St. Paul - the place to live.




                                                   The Pedal Pub

Lots of innovative businesses in the Twin Cities - This is using "pedal power" to move your party around town . . . drinking beer as you pedal seems to help.  Grand Avenue in St. Paul - the street to shop and eat.




                                                        Fort Snelling

An 1820 fort build where rivers meet and with re-enactments - cannon blasts - and historical actors explaining the history of the past.

Cover your ears!

                               The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden


Could you please tell me where......? 

 

"Didn't I see you somewhere else a few days ago?"



"No Bill that isn't a sculpture, it's a water meter."

An Alexander Calder!



The famous Spoonbridge and Cherry Fountain


                                    

                            The Walker Art Center - Contemporary Art

                   We ended our Twin City exploration with a visit to.....





All sorts of carnival rides - all indoors and open everyday, rain or shine.

One of the many hundreds of stores in "Mall of America."  And he is made from Legos.

Goodby to the Twins - on to Fargo!
