54 homes in Minneapolis and St. Paul were featured during the Annual Minneapolis St. Paul Home Tour on April 27th and 28th. This event, now in its 26th year, promotes the advantages of city living. People open up their homes to show off their renovation projects, talk about their neighborhoods, and celebrate the lives they live in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

The new headquarters of the Mississippi River Management Organization (MWMO) is itself a demonstration of the river-friendly practices that the organization was established to encourage.
