Iconic Minneapolis

This is one of my favorite places in the city. Either side of the bridge gives you a fantastic view. Anyone who wants to consider themselves part of the Twin Cities needs to go here at least once. Speaking from experience though, you’ll want to go back. Plus it’s a great place to go for a run :)
