Minneapolis and St. Paul may share a common space and a major airport, but they couldn't be more different. Modern, traditional, hip, classic--both unique, both inviting. If you're one of the 40,000 people coming to the GOP Convention and you want to know where to stay, what to eat, and what to do (besides politick) while you're here, here are some good places to start:
