Introducing Minneapolis
Minneapolis is the artiest town on the prairie, with all the trimmings of progressive prosperity – a cache of coffee shops, organic and ethnic eateries, swank art museums, and enough theaters to be nicknamed Mini-Apple (second only to the Big Apple, New York City). It’s always happenin’, even in winter.
But there’s no attitude to go along with the abundance. It’s the kind of place where homeless people are treated kindly at the coffee shops, where the buses are kept immaculately clean, and where the public workers tell everyone to ‘Have a nice day,’ rain or shine (or snow). No wonder the city recently topped the list as the most charitable place in America.
