"If an American City could wield a knife -- Minneapolis would stab a guy."
So said William F. Buckley in his famous offhand remark to a darker-than-usual porter. Like Whitman, Minneapolis is many things to many people - even many things unto itself. Even St. Paul (aka Pigs Eye) will tell you that Minneapolis is the:
- Austere capital of the Great North Woods
- Inspiration for Superman's Polar Palace
- Smugly superior antithesis to Tampa
- The great hoary beard on a wizened Uncle Sam
- South of Winnipeg, you cold mother fuckers
- Favorite spot for an aging Nevid Kessar's benders
- Home to:
- Prince, Jesse Ventura, & JFK
- Nice people
- The Bought Art Movement (BAM)
- Prince Harry's secret lover
- Paul Bunyan (or is he from Maine?)
- Glasspants, Payne, & The Whittier Globe
- Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, and the best goddamn flapjacks in the world
- Still crazy, after all these years
