Places to see in ( Minneapolis - USA )
Minneapolis is a major city in Minnesota that forms Twin Cities with the neighboring state capital of St. Paul. Bisected by the Mississippi River, it's known for its parks and lakes. Minneapolis is also home to many cultural landmarks like the Walker Art Center, a contemporary art museum, and the adjacent Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, famed for Claes Oldenburg's Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture.
Minneapolis is the biggest and artiest town on the prairie, with all the trimmings of progressive prosperity – swank art museums, rowdy rock clubs, organic and ethnic eateries and edgy theaters. It's always happenin', even in winter. And here's the bonus: folks are attitude-free and the embodiment of 'Minnesota Nice.' Count how many times they tell you to 'Have a great day,' come rain or shine or snow.
Districts of Minneapolis :
Downtown
The central business district, major sports and theater venues, the city's main clubbing area in the Warehouse District, Loring Park, Elliot Park, and the historic mill ruins along the Mississippi.
South
West Bank, Seward, Midtown, Nokomis, Longfellow, and Minnehaha Park
Southwest
Uptown, Lyn-Lake, Linden Hills, Eat Street, and the Chain of Lakes
North
Near North, Camden, Bryn Mawr and Theodore Wirth Park.
Northeast
The birthplace of Minneapolis in Old Saint Anthony, old victorian houses on Nicollet Island, and further north the old working class enclaves of Northeast that are now home to a growing artist community.
Southeast
Dinkytown, Prospect Park, Como, and the University of Minnesota
Towering glass skyscrapers, stunning blue lakes and rivers, tree canopied city streets, premier shopping, state of the art cuisine and entertainment, and a modern transportation network and infrastructure characterize this rapidly growing city and justify its identity as the upper midwest's premier (if not only) metropolis.
Minneapolis was destined to be a center of commerce due to its location at the Falls of St. Anthony, which was named by the French explorer Fr. Louis Hennepin in 1680. St. Anthony Falls is by far the largest source of water power on the Mississippi River. The falls were harnessed to power lumber mills in the 1840s and later for flour milling. By 1870, Minneapolis on the west bank and St. Anthony on the east bank formed the largest flour producing center in the world. In 1872, Minneapolis absorbed its older neighbor. Most of the old St Anthony township is now known as Northeast Minneapolis. A small part of the old township comprises most of the current suburb of St. Anthony

08/23/17 Sarah Morris @ Silverwood Park, St. Anthony, MN (V001 Brighter)
Description
Silverwood
This sculpture is at Silverwood Park in St. Anthony Village, MN, The Pod utilizes the Oak Tree which was struck by lightning and had to be removed. The The armature was made from salvaged tree branches from around Minneapolis. Some came from the city of Minneapolis tree trimming crews. This particular piece was begun in the summer of 2010 on the open field at the Walker Art Center.
The structure was built collaboratively on site.
The object has continued to evolve into its present incarnation. The Pod has been exposed to the Minnesota seasons for 1 year. The structure was reinforced with branches and leaves from fallen Oak tree. (branches removed from the tree hold on to their leaves even after they are dried.) The layer of leaves will serve as insulation in cold weather. The opening is at the bottom to prevent heat escape. The pod continues to evolve as conditions change. The piece, if left in the weather will eventually degrade. The Pod is constructed only with branches and twine The branches are used when green and freshly cut. This way they retain maximum flexibility and strength. Most trees work well with this method, with the exception of trees like Box-elder or Cottonwood, which break too easily. The branches initially are held in place with twine. Eventually the twine becomes unnecessary as the innate tension in the branches holds the structure together. The entire pod is held aloft using strong rope anchored at four points on the pod and is hanging from two separate limbs of an Oak Tree.
The Music is a recording from 1997 by Vortex Navigation Company song entitled ANINET musicians: Brendan Turner, Wes Morden, Sean Connaughty

Places to see in ( Saint Paul - USA )
Saint Paul, the state capital of Minnesota, forms the Twin Cities with neighboring Minneapolis. It’s home to the Science Museum of Minnesota, with its dinosaur specimens and immersive theater. The Minnesota History Center has interactive exhibits about the region's history. Nearby is the beaux arts Cathedral of Saint Paul. The Cass Gilbert–designed Minnesota State Capitol features paintings of Civil War scenes.
Founded near historic Native American settlements as a trading and transportation center, the city rose to prominence when it was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory in 1849. The Dakota name for Saint Paul is Imnizaska. Though Minneapolis (Bdeota) is better-known nationally, Saint Paul contains the state government and other important institutions. Regionally, the city is known for the Xcel Energy Center, home of the Minnesota Wild, and for the Science Museum of Minnesota. As a business hub of the Upper Midwest, it is the headquarters of companies such as Ecolab. Saint Paul, along with its Twin City, Minneapolis, is known for its high literacy rate. It was the only city in the United States with a population of 250,000 or more to see an increase in circulation of Sunday newspapers in 2007.
The settlement originally began at present-day Lambert's Landing, but was known as Pig's Eye after Pierre Pig's Eye Parrant established a popular tavern there. When Lucien Galtier, the first Catholic pastor of the region, established the Log Chapel of Saint Paul (shortly thereafter to become the first location of the Cathedral of Saint Paul), he made it known that the settlement was now to be called by that name, as Saint Paul as applied to a town or city was well appropriated, this monosyllable is short, sounds good, it is understood by all Christian denominations.
The city's seventeen Planning Districts are:
Sunray-Battle Creek-Highwood
Greater East Side
West Side
Dayton's Bluff
Payne-Phalen
North End
Thomas Dale (Frogtown)
Summit-University
West End
Como Park
Hamline-Midway
Saint Anthony Park
Union Park
Macalester-Groveland
Highland Park

Downtown
In winter months, Saint Paul hosts the Saint Paul Winter Carnival, a tradition that began in 1886 when a New York reporter called Saint Paul another Siberia. Attended by 350,000 visitors annually, the event showcases ice sculpting, an annual treasure hunt, winter food, activities, and an ice palace. The Como Zoo and Conservatory and adjoining Japanese Garden are popular year-round. The historic Landmark Center in downtown Saint Paul hosts cultural and arts organizations. The city's notable recreation locations include Indian Mounds Park, Battle Creek Regional Park, Harriet Island Regional Park, Highland Park, the Wabasha Street Caves, Lake Como, Lake Phalen, and Rice Park, as well as several areas abutting the Mississippi River. The Irish Fair of Minnesota is also held annually at the Harriet Island Pavilion area. And the country's largest Hmong American sports festival, the Freedom Festival, is held the first weekend of July at McMurray Field near Como Park.

Run, walk, eat for youth hockey; Silverwood Park opens - Sun Focus Today - Tuesday, Sept. 29
The Irondale Youth Hockey Association welcomed other community members to an event last Saturday morning.
Some chose to run or walk a 5K through Mounds View neighborhoods, while other residents cheered them on. Afterward, everyone could go inside the Mermaid in Mounds View for a pancake breakfast. Both events were fundraisers for the youth hockey association. 5K co-coordinator Rhonda McConnell suggested the group will be planning a second 5K, and spoke of appreciation for all who entered the inaugural run. Event co-coordinator managed the activities inside the Mermaid, which included an equipment swap, where hockey families could find used skates, pads, helmets and other gear that other families were no longer using. Sonterre spoke about the partnership with the Mermaid, and the benefits of the hockey equipment swap. The hockey association continues to take registrations for the upcoming season, especially for skaters of preschool age to early elementary grades. For more information, visit the Irondale Youth Hockey Association's website: iyhaleague.org.
Residents, along with local and state officials, celebrated the grand opening of Silverwood Park, 2950 W. County Road E. in St. Anthony, last Saturday. The park was once a camp that was operated by the Salvation Army for inner-city youth. Now owned and operated by the Three Rivers Park District, Silverwood opened on Aug. 12. Visitors during the grand opening could walk through the professional art gallery in the visitor center, attend performances at the outdoor amphitheater, and explore the biking and walking trails. In addition, there was a ribbon cutting ceremony, art demonstrations, and interactive activities such as face-painting, papermaking, wheel-throwing, and spinning wool. For more information about Silverwood park, visit the Three Rivers Park District website: threeriversparks.org and click on Parks & Trails.
