A Tour of Twin Cities History and Culture Through the Lens of the Unusual

• Where can you view a rare handwritten letter by Mozart in the same building where a notorious gangster was once chained to a radiator?
• Whose remains are stored inside a suitcase on the upper shelf of a local German bar?
• Where is there a park hidden 120 feet below street level, and why is it the subject of an opera?
• What’s the story behind the world’s largest Lite-Brite, the Lyndale Park Peace Garden zigzag bridge, and the city bus stop with giant steel flowers sprouting from it?

The answers to these and many more questions about Minneapolis and Saint Paul are found within the pages of Secret Twin Cities. The Twin Cities metropolitan area invites visitors and locals to revel in nature, art, science, history, innovation, and with this book as your guide—a bit of the unexpected. You’ll play a musical sidewalk railing, stand exactly halfway between the Equator and the North Pole, and explore the spot many Dakota people consider to be the center of the earth. Weaved into delightful narratives by local writer Julie Jo Severson, Secret Twin Cities is a treasure chest of offbeat, extraordinary gems and legacies. Whether you’re a local or here for a visit, you’ll broaden your Twin Cities itineraries, bucket lists, and trivia vaults.

The middle years of life are ones of tremendous joy and unchartered challenges. Often times, these are the years when we are pulled in multiple directions, with the needs of our career, marriage, children, aging parents, and friendships all taking a toll on our time and energy. But it can also be a time filled with simple pleasures, deeper connections, and a settling into our own skin.

Curated and edited by Christine Organ and Julie Jo Severson, “Here In The Middle” is a collection of essays that gives voice to the complexity of the middle place, sandwiched between love and loss, with writers from around the country sharing their stories, along with a piece of their heart and soul, so that readers find acceptance, solace, and understanding.
