Hennepin County has more theater seats per capita than anywhere else in the U.S. except New York City. Broadway who? We've got Hennepin Avenue!
The county is named after a French explorer who never asked for this honor. Father Louis Hennepin is probably somewhere saying, "You named WHAT after me?"
Minneapolis literally means "City of Lakes." And yes, we have the receipts—22 lakes within city limits. Try not to fall in one while biking!
Lake Minnetonka has 14,000 acres of water and 125 miles of shoreline. That's a lot of pontoon boat parties and "I know a guy with a cabin" stories.
