I'll give you the one in the OLD Pabst Brewery, but Pilsbury and Gold Medal have operational flour mills in Minneapolis.
There's huge piles of coal and salt in the Port of Milwaukee (the area near Summerfest), but no grain elevators that I'm aware of.
I totally agree, but I'd still have to say that Minneapolis is more "Midwestern" due to its long history of agribusiness.
Minneapolis has a total population of 358,896. If 17.4% of Minneapolis is Black, that translates to 62,448 people.
If 15.6% of those 62,448 people are foreign born, that translates to 9,742 people. 9,742 is a mere 2.7% of the population of Minneapolis. Like I said before, it's a miniscule portion of the total population.
You're mixing 2000 and 2006-2008 numbers, btw. Not that it makes so much of a difference, but be careful, the numbers for the estimates are often way off.
Nitpicking...that percentage is the percent of foreign born black people in Minneapolis city alone. Of the total black population, that's significant and a major difference from Milwaukee. If you think that's miniscule....what other cities have a comparable percentage?
Wow, what did you Google to find that. Ugly Milwaukee? Anyway, to be fair, you should follow it up with the 100 most beautiful things in Milwaukee - trust me, there is a lot of beauty.
I was just going to follow up with your foreign-born black population in Minneapolis. I know that Minneapolis has the largest population of Somali citizens in the U.S. Is this who you mean?
Chicago. I thought everyone knew Chicago was the transportation, culture, and population hub of the Midwest? Kind of like Atlanta is the capital of the South. Chicago is the capital of the Midwest.

LOL. No Milwaukee isn't an ugly city. Honestly, just google grain silos + Milwaukee, that's what comes up. I've personally seen some structures near the Port, didn't realize they were silos before.
About the 2nd point, a large part is Somalis; however the Twin Cities have large populations of Ethiopians, Eritreans, Liberians, and other East and West Africans as well.

No, my numbers came from the 2006-08 ACS estimates.
9,742 foreign born Blacks is a mere 0.27% of the total Twin Cities metro area (pop. 3,527,009). Not significant at all. In general, Sub Saharan Africans make up a very tiny (perhaps the smallest) proportion of the total US population of any ethnic group.

There are only 9,742 foreign born blacks in Minneapolis-Saint Paul?
More like 61,959 foreign-born (Africans alone; others would add to this total). 1.8% of the CSA population; presumably higher in the MSA.
This also doesn't include first generation children of these immigrants.
MN has a larger land area than WI, but not a larger population.
Going by your logic, I guess AK must have the biggest cities in the US because it's the biggest state and also borders Canada.
Super mega fail.
Anchorage is biggest by land area....I guess if we go by population then suuure Alaska doesn't count. You just proved my point Minnesota has more going for it, and the biggest mall in the country.
