The character of the city's main neighborhoods, from Northeast's breweries to Uptown's lakes.
The in-city lakes and how locals use them: trails, beaches, and the seasons of each.
Navigating the miles of enclosed walkways that let downtown work through the winter.
Honest advice on layers, snow emergencies, and enjoying a city built for the cold.
Light rail, buses, bike trails, and when you genuinely need a car here.
The rhythm of festivals, markets, and lake seasons that structure a Minneapolis year.

It is the local shorthand for Minneapolis — the consonants of the city's name, used on everything from merchandise to bumper stickers.
Cold and long — subzero stretches happen every year — but the city is built for it: skyways downtown, plowing routines, and a culture that goes outside anyway.
No — they are twin cities across the Mississippi from each other, each with its own downtown, government, and character. MPLS refers to Minneapolis specifically.
