As a long time visitor of Minneapolis, the arts scene in the city astonishes me. I love the contemporary art, theater, and music.

A Livability Lab

Minneapolis and St. Paul are two of the most livable cities in the country. Historic neighborhoods, bike and walking trails, and a revitalized riverfront are just a few of the reasons. At the 2009 National Planning Conference, you'll have a chance to see all the successful planning projects in the area. You can get started now with APA's free video tours.
