Leave the lights on. This is a 24-hour town.
Downtown is home to 35,000 residents, and a work force of more than 160,000. And 2.5 million people live within a half hour drive. In 1967, we opened Nicollet Mall, the pedestrian commercial aorta that gives other cities a case of urban-envy. Today, 8 miles of skyways connect 80 city blocks. Venerable historic buildings mingle with modern works from architects like Frank Gehry. And the magnetism is powerful: 24/7, we’re a city that draws a crowd.
