Template talk:Minneapolis neighborhoods

Possible alternatives
I've created a couple alternatives:

Alternative #2

Template change
I changed the template, as there seem to be no objections. I used Alternative #1. Eco84 | Talk 16:20, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

One problem with this
Camden: Minneapolis is not as generous, as far as I can tell, in defining the borders of Camden, as this template.

North Minneapolis: If you're a resident of this section of the city (instead of a yuppy transplant attracted to Queen Annes), you would know that North Minneapolis is everything in Minneapolis on the north side, West of the Mississippi.

So, I ask, what is the factual basis for the grouping?

Thanks.

(Good template though...I just think it needs some tweaks). LaughNowMurderLatter (talk) 04:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The factual basis is the city's official definition of neighborhoods and communities which were formally set in stone in the 1970s. Map http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/about/maps/neighborhoods.pdf. Other cities like Chicago do not do official designations, Minneapolis does. These definitions draw historically back even before yuppies or riots. The generic grouping of North Minneapolis and South Minneapolis is a sign of people who have only recently lived or grown up in the area. davumaya 17:06, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
