Minneapolis : “City of Lakes”
May 30, 2012.

Minneapolis is the largest city in the United States state of Minnesota. It is also the county seat of Hennepin County. It has the nicknames of “City of Lakes” and the “Mill City”. It is said Minneapolis was named by city’s first schoolteacher who combined “mni” which is the Dakota word for water and “polis” which is the Greek word for city. Minneapolis lies on both banks of the Mississippi River, just north of the river’s confluence with the Minnesota River. Minneapolis is adjacent to Saint Paul, the capital of Minnesota. Both together are known as “Twin Cities”. The city is abundantly rich in water, with over twenty lakes and wetlands, Mississippi River, creeks and waterfalls, many connected by parkways in the Chain of Lakes and Grand Rounds Scenic Byway. Among cities of similar densities, Minneapolis has the most dedicated parkland. It was once the flour milling capital of the world and a hub for timber. With Minneapolis proper containing fifth highest concentration of Fortune five hundred companies in United States, it is today the primary business center between Chicago and Seattle. Minneapolis homes cultural organizations that draw creative people and audiences to the city for theater, visual art, writing and music. The city homes a diverse population which has a long tradition of charitable support through progressive public social programs and VOLAGS, as well as private and corporate philanthropy.

Dakota Sioux were the sole residents of the region before the French explorers arrived around sixteen hundred and eighty.

Minneapolis was incorporated as a city in eighteen hundred and sixty seven. In eighteen hundred and seventy two, east bank city of Saint Anthony was joined to Minneapolis. The city grew up around Saint Anthony Falls, the highest waterfall on the Mississippi. Minneapolis used hydropower early and has been described as “the greatest direct drive waterpower center the world has ever seen”.  The history and economic growth of Minneapolis is entirely related to water, the defining physical characteristic of the city. Water is present from last ice age to Minneapolis. Fed by receding glaciers and Lake Agassiz ten thousand years ago, torrents of water from a glacial river undercut the Mississippi and Minnehaha riverbeds, creating waterfalls important to modern Minneapolis. Apart from waterfalls, there are three creeks, twelve lakes, three large ponds and five unnamed wetlands within Minneapolis.

Today especially Milwaukee’s German heritage carries on in many of its restaurants, neighbourhoods, schools and churches.
Since ninety hundred and eighties, the image, economy and neighbourhoods began to make improvements. It added to Milwaukee’s attraction. Many neighbourhoods such as Historic Third Ward, Lincoln Village, East Side and more recently Walker’s Point and Bay View were revitalized.

The rich European history of Milwaukee is evident even today. In two thousand and six, National Trust for Historic Preservation named Milwaukee as one of the “Dozen Distinctive Destinations” which was largely a result of its efforts to preserve its history.

By AD thousand four hundred and fifty, the Hohokam had constructed hundreds of miles of canals many of which are still in use today.

South Beach is a neighbourhood in Miami. It is located east of downtown Miami between Biscayne Bay and Atlantic Ocean. The area encompasses all of the barrier islands of Miami Beach south of Indian Creek. Thanks to the development efforts of Carl G. Fisher, Lummus Brothers and John-S. Collins, the area was the first section of Miami Beach to be developed starting in nineteen hundred and ten. John-S. Collins constructed the Collins Bridge which provided the first vital land link between mainland Miami and beaches. The area has gone through a number of artificial and natural changes including a booming regional economy, increased tourism and a hurricane in ninety hundred and twenty six which destroyed much of the area.

In the nineteen hundred and thirties, an architectural revolution came to South Beach, bringing with it Art Deco, Streamline Moderne and Nautical Moderne architecture. Today South Beach claims to be the world’s largest collection of Streamline Moderne Art Deco architecture.  In the years before nineteen hundred and eighty, many of the unique Art Deco buildings, such as the New Yorker Hotel, were lost to developers. The area was saved by Barbara Capitman and a group of activists who spearheaded the movement to place almost one square mile of South Beach on the National Register of Historic Places. In nineteen hundred and seventy nine Miami Beach Architectural District was designated.

Whether it is daytime or nightfall, the South Beach section of Miami Beach is a major entertainment destination with hundreds of nightclubs, restaurants, boutiques and hotels.  The area is loved by both American and international tourists. International tourists come mainly from Canada, Latin America, Europe, Israel, the Caribbean. Some tourists have permanent or second homes here. The large number of European tourists perhaps explains the South Beach’s lax and overall tolerance of topless sunbathing known as female monokini, despite it being a public beach.
South Beach is also nicknamed SoBe.

Memphis was founded in eighteen hundred and nineteen by John Overton, James Winchester and Andrew Jackson. The city was named after the ancient capital of Egypt on the Nile River. Memphis developed as a transportation center in nineteenth century due to its flood free location, high above the Mississippi River.

It happened a day after giving his prophetic “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech at the Mason Temple.

May 27, 2012.

Louisville is located south east along the border between Kentucky and Indiana. It sits by the sides of Ohio River, in north central Kentucky at the Falls of the Ohio. A resident of Louisville is known as a “Louisvillian”. Although part of a southern state, Louisville is influenced by both southern and Midwestern culture.

Louisville is one of the oldest cities to the west of Appalachian Mountains. The settlement that became the city of Louisville was founded in seventeen hundred and seventy eight by George Rogers Clark. It is named after King Louis Sixteenth of France.
The name of Louisville is pronounced in different ways by local population. This variability in pronunciation may be attributed to the location of the city on the border between northern and southern regions of the United States. The population of Louisville is diverse and has traditionally represented elements of both northern and southern culture.

Louisville is located in Bluegrass region, a geographic region peculiar to Kentucky. Its location on the Ohio River has spurred the growth of Louisville from an isolated camp site into a major shipping port. Much of the city is located on a very wide and flat flood plain surrounded by hill country on all sides. Much of the area was swampland which had to be drained to accommodate growth of the city.  Most of the creeks were rerouted or placed in canals in eighteen hundred and forties to prevent floods and disease outbreaks. Some areas to the east are above flood plain and are made of gently rolling hills. The southernmost parts are in the scenic and largely undeveloped Knobs region where Jefferson Memorial Forest is located.
