If she cracks a whip at your feet, you BETTER dance!

Welcome to my "neighborhood" (you'll only be 100 miles away from me).

Unfortunately I don't have much to offer as advice except Minneapolis' Red Light district is downtown on Hennepin Ave. near the Excel Energy Stadium (big dome north of downtown area). Like most large cities, I don't recommend walking alone at night in that area, but it may be safer than many cities on either coast tend to be. Otherwise, the class acts are probably in the phone book and probably anywhere
except downtown. A car is almost essential in the Twin Cities. Everything is spread out since there are few obstacles to prevent sprawl (no mountains, oceans, etc).
Sorry if that's no help.

Oh yeah! Look for or ask about the weekly called
City Pages. I think that has ads and info about current events and activities in the Twin Cities area.
Good Luck and have fun!
