Briefing

Minneapolis is a city and the county seat of Hennepin County in Minnesota, United States. The city is abundant in water, with thirteen lakes, wetlands, the Mississippi River, creeks and waterfalls. Minneapolis has its origins in timber and as the flour milling capital of the world. It occupies both banks of the Mississippi River and adjoins Saint Paul, the state capital of Minnesota. Minneapolis and Saint Paul make up the core of the surrounding region, known as the Twin Cities, which is the state's main political, economic, and cultural hub.

Minneapolis has one of the best public park systems in the US; many of these parks are connected by the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway. Biking and walking trails, some of which follow abandoned railroad lines, run through many parts of the city. Recreation areas in the city include the historic Mill District in the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska, Lake Harriet, and Minnehaha Falls. Minneapolis has cold, snowy winters and hot, humid summers. Minneapolis is the birthplace of General Mills, Pillsbury Company, and the Target Corporation. The city's cultural offerings are anchored by the Walker Art Center, Nicollet Mall, and the First Avenue nightclub. Minneapolis is the home of several professional sports teams, including the Minnesota Vikings and the Minnesota Twins. The city was the location of the popular 1970s sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which featured shots of city landmarks in its opening sequence.
