Minnesota Nice
Trivia & Other Facts

What is "Minnesota Nice"?  Midwestern hospitality is at its best here where the dual nature of our Twin City area combines an exciting and vital urban setting with the friendly and relaxing comfort reminiscent of a small town. Our "twins" are fraternal rather than identical. Minneapolis is bustling and sophisticated with modern skyscrapers, galleries and art museums in trendy neighborhoods, and stylish eateries. St. Paul, our capitol city, is more traditional, showing a healthy respect for its historic neighborhoods and buildings, many of which have been lovingly kept and restored.

Take the Minnesota Trivia Quiz and see what all the fuss is about.
