Minnesota also has 90,000 miles of shoreline – more than California, Florida and Hawaii combined – which doesn’t only translate to rural areas, but runs throughout the cities as well. The cities are also known for their many miles of lake and bike paths that cater to outdoor enthusiasts and fitness lovers alike. This, along with the city’s dedicated effort to improve paths within the metro, is one of the reasons why Minneapolis is the most bike-friendly city in the nation!

The first children’s department within a library is said to be that of the Minneapolis Public Library, which separated children’s books from the rest of the collection in December of 1889. Minneapolis is even the home of the first automatic pop-up toaster, which was marketed in June 1926 by McGraw Electric Co. under the name “Toastmaster.” (The retail price was only $13.50!).
