This Minneapolis neighborhood draws historical flair from a past in flour
milling, while exuding trend-setting panache among hip hangouts and eateries
along the beautiful riverbanks. A dual landscape, the

the past with national landmarks, historic districts and museums – yet
anticipates the future with innovative theater, tours and events.

Minneapolis grew into the milling capital of the world along Main
Street in Old St. Anthony. Now the surrounding neighborhood, just across the river from downtown, is a picture of urban vibrancy.
