From the Minneapolis Arena--home of the Ice Follies and Minneapolis Millers--to the neighborhoods' lakes and majestic homes, the Buzza Greeting Card factory, and the old Calhoun and West High schools, this book takes readers on a scenic journey through the heritage of this much-loved community in pictures and text.
