- Twin Cities (allthetropes.org)
There are many twin cities - Buda and Pest, El Paso and Ciudad Juárez, Ottawa and Gatineau, and so on - but the one that most Americans think of when they hear the phrase “Twin Cities” is Minneapolis and St. Paul, the Twin Cities in Minnesota. Famous for the Mall of America (in one of the suburbs).

- St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Minnesota’s Urban Origins (MNopedia)
Only outsiders and strangers—and those who name baseball teams—would call St. Paul and Minneapolis “twins.” The rest of us call them “The Cities,” recognizing that though they sit right next to each other and on the same river, they pull in decidedly different directions.

The most common street names in the United States are what you would expect: First, Second, Third, Park, Main, Cedar, etc. But what about Bryant, Upton, Washburn, or Dupont?
- The Minneapolis Street Grid: Explained (streets.mn)
When I moved to Minneapolis from upstate New York last year, I found myself puzzled by the layout of the streets and avenues across the city. Why, for example, did every street and avenue in my neighborhood have Southeast (SE) as a suffix? And why did that change to South (S) when I went to neighborhoods like Seward and Whittier? These questions lingered in my mind while wandering the city by bike, bus and light rail. I tried to find the origin of the north–south divide and the east/not-east divide, as well as the underlying structure of the streets and avenues.
