True Minneapolis is centered around three lakes: Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun, and Lake Harriet. If you live close to one of these guys, your life revolves around the water.
Once you're settled in your new apartment, go for a run, walk, bike or drive around the Big Three to familiarize yourself with your new grounds. It is incredibly easy to get around, so there's no excuse to miss out on what this city has to offer. Sit in the top section at a Twins game and catch the sun setting on the best view of downtown. Rent a speedboat and spend a sunny day on Lake Minnetonka. Bike to the stone arch bridge and watch the Mississippi roar beneath you. Minneapolis has a huge theatre scene, and actors come from all over the world with the hope of landing a role in a production at the Guthrie Theatre. People in this city are generally very supportive of the arts, which adds to the overall sense of community in Minneapolis. Winters are brutal, but Minnesotans get through them together. Let it snow!
With a stable government sector, and thriving commerce, finance, trucking, technology, industry and healthcare sectors, the Minneapolis-St.Paul metro is the second largest economic center in the Midwest. Fortune 500 companies with headquarters in Minneapolis include Ameriprise Financial, Target, Thrivent Financial, U.S. Bancorp, Valspar, and Xcel Energy. PepsiAmericas is based in St. Paul. And St. Paul-based Ecolab Inc., a global provider of water, hygiene and energy technologies and services, was recently added to the Fortune 500 and also named one of the “World’s Most Ethical Companies” by the Ethisphere Institute.
