Default Top Tens

Enter your top ten "places" or "things" in the Twin Cities and your top ten "places" in Minnesota as a whole. Here are mine.

Twin Cities -

10. Mall of America - Biggest mall in the USA. Great to go and just walk around, even if you've been there 100 times. Plus, the top of the parking ramp is excellent in the summer at sunset - or anytime at that-MPLS skyline, STP Skyline, Airport with jets taking off..

9. The Metrodome - Never been to a Vikes game, but based on the 150+ Twins games I have been to, its still a fun place to go and experience.

8. Minnehaha Falls - Beautiful

7. Stone Arch Bridge

6. Excel Energy Center

5. Lake Minnetonka and surrounding bays

4. University of Minnesota

3. Uptown, Dinkytown, Downtown, Noreast, and the lakes

2. The bluffs of St Paul

1. The Cathedral and State Capitol Building

Not in any specific order I guess. Its hard after doing so..But thats my top ten.

Minnesota

10. Duluth
9. Brainerd Lakes Area
8. Bluff Country along WI border
7. BWCA
6. Northshore
5. Alexandria Lakes Area
4. The Burbs
3. Goosbury Falls
2. Mississippi River
1. Big Lakes - Mille Lacs, Red Lake, Lake of the Woods, Minnetonka, Vermillion...


Again, not in order. just notables.
