The largest city in the state and a port of entry, it is a major industrial and rail hub. With adjacent St. Paul (the two are known as the Twin Cities), it is the processing, distribution, and trade center for a vast grain and cattle area. Minneapolis is also a banking and financial center with a significant high-technology industry. Chief among the many manufactures are food products, electronic equipment, instruments, graphic art products, machinery, fabricated metals, chemicals, and textiles. Although the central city's population has declined since the 1970s, the suburbs have grown. An influx of African Americans and immigrants began to change the city's racial composition in the 1990s. The falls were visited by Louis Hennepin in 1683; Fort Snelling was established in 1819; and a sawmill was built at the falls in 1821. The village of St. Anthony was settled c.1839 on the east side of the river near the falls. Minneapolis originated on the river's west side c.1847 and included much of the reservation of Fort Snelling. It annexed St. Anthony in 1872. The city became the country's foremost lumber center, and after the plains were planted with wheat and the railroads were built, flour milling developed, with the 50-ft (15-m) falls supplying power.

Among the city's diverse manufactures are electrical, construction, and medical equipment; sheet metal; paper and plastic products; storage tanks; food; motor vehicles; and consumer goods. Other industries include oil refining and printing and publishing. Landmarks and Institutions Like many of the upper Mississippi River towns, St. Paul's oldest streets are narrow and crooked, conforming to the hills and to the river frontage. Many modern downtown buildings are interconnected by enclosed skywalks. Several fine parks (the largest of which are Como and Phalen) and many lakes (over 900 in the general metropolitan area), public beaches, and nearby ski areas provide recreational facilities. A Native American mounds park is there. An annual Winter Carnival is held in the city, and the state fairgrounds are in the Midway district, between St. Paul and Minneapolis.

MPR: Sioux Falls Goes From Cow Town To Metro Sioux Falls, SD Downtown Sioux Falls looks a lot like a big city. John Adams, chairman of the University of minnesota geography department, http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2004/12/23_hetlandc_sfallsdtdev/
Extractions: Downtown Sioux Falls from a viewing tower at Falls Park. Downtown has transformed from a skyline of smokestacks and feed mills in the last 30 years. (MPR Photo/Cara Hetland) Sioux Falls used to be a cow town. Rail and salvage yards peppered downtown. Packing plants and heavy industry defined the work force. For decades the Big Sioux River was hidden from view by huge smoke stacks and feed mills. Now Sioux Falls is a shopping destination and medical hub for a tri-state area. City planners say this phase of their downtown redevelopment plan is a success story. They may be able to define the growth, but they can't take credit for it. In fact, it's not clear who can.

Linguistic Geography Of The United States More southerly Midland cities have a typically Southern fronted nucleus in ow, American Regional Dialects A Word geography. Ann ArborUniversity of http://www.evolpub.com/Americandialects/AmDialMap.html
Extractions: Traditionally, dialectologists have listed three dialect groups in the United States: Northern, Midland, and Southernalthough some scholars prefer a two-way classification of simply Northern and Southern, and one may also find significant difference on the boundaries of each area. The map shown above represents a synthesis of various independent field studies this century. These are in chronological order: the Linguistic Atlas fieldwork begun under the direction of Hans Kurath in the 1930's; the informal but extensive personal observations of Charles Thomas in the 1940's; the DARE fieldwork of the 1960's under Frederic Cassidy; and the Phonological Atlas fieldwork of William Labov during the 1990's. Although it may seem that a great amount of data has been collected over a short time span, the shifts in American dialects this century have been rapid enough to outpace the data collection. What appears to be a well-entrenched dialect marker today such as the Northern Cities Shift, may barely appear in earlier studiesaffecting both classification and mapping. Nevertheless, some basic observations on current American linguistic geography can be made.

Extractions: high temperatures on a given day in the United States to reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit (about 40 degrees Celsius). The United States owes much of its national character and its wealth to its good fortune in having such a large and varied landmass to inhabit and cultivate. Yet the country still exhibits marks of regional identity, and one way Americans cope with the size of their country is to think of themselves as linked geographically by certain traits, such as New England self-reliance, southern hospitality, midwestern wholesomeness, western mellowness. This chapter examines American geography, history, and customs through the filters of six main regions: New England , made up of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The Middle Atlantic , comprising New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland. The South , which runs from Virginia south to Florida and west as far as central Texas. This region also includes West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and parts of Missouri and Oklahoma. The Midwest , a broad collection of states sweeping westward from Ohio to Nebraska and including Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, parts of Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and eastern Colorado.

Since the 1977 appearance of Yi Fu Tuan's classic Space and Place , attention to place-related analysis in academia has exploded, spurred in part perhaps by the great success of "place" books by nongeographers such as John McPhee (1968, 1977, 1984), Joel Garreau (1991), and Tony Hiss (1990). In recent years, the academic consideration of place has extended well beyond Tuan's early postulations. As a matter of course, geographers and others now explicitly link most examinations of place to social, political, and economic analysis (e.g., Jackson and Penrose, 1993; Hayden, 1996). The two books considered here are thus part of a notable trend to attend more closely to varied aspects of the place debates, although their approaches could not be more different.
