I'm happy to be part of the official book launch even for Drew Ross' new book, Becoming the Twin Cities, which is a deep dive into the 19th and early 20th c. origins and evolution of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Ross' driving question here is "why didn't the Twin Cities just become one city?" It seems almost frivolous today, but looking back the answer to that question deeply surprised me!
There are so many schemes and shenanigans in Ross' book that I didn't know about, and it was a real eye-opener. I can't wait to talk to him about his book on stage at the MN History Center tomorrow.
It's at 2:00 and free to the public. (You can also join via Zoom.) I hope to see you there!
