Next door to Minneapolis, St. Paul has its own big-city perks like the Xcel Energy Center, home of the NHL's Minnesota Wild. In recent years, the city has been making more of an effort to bring Black-owned businesses into the spotlight."

Minneapolis:

"Tourism organizations in Minneapolis are promoting the heritage of the city's Black community, highlighting businesses and artists that are central to the area's culture. The University of Minnesota's influence can be seen throughout the city, while the nearby Mall of America and U.S. Bank Stadium are other popular institutions.
