About What neighborhood in Minneapolis has these characteristics

What neighborhood in Minneapolis has these characteristics?
I'm looking for a neighborhood in Minneapolis with big craftsmen style homes with rich wood work, nice lot sizes, mature trees, parks, and great schools. Is there such a neighborhood in the Twin Cities metro area? Thank you!

I don't understand.

South Minneapolis would be a good place to start - both the Southwest and Longfellow areas. I think the homes/yards may be bigger in the Southwest neighborhoods - Linden Hills, Tangletown, Uptown area - I think along Minnehaha Parkway too. That area - Southwest Minneapolis - is definitely more "affluent". It sounds like that's where you'd want to be. You may, however, have an easier time finding properties for sale in the Longfellow neighborhood, but not nearly as affluent - again, along Minnehaha Parkway in Longfellow would be some of the bigger Craftsmen style homes. And, there are fewer of them (I think) over in Longfellow. Along with the "affluence" comes schools with more resources, more established/safer neighborhoods, etc: Southwest Minneapolis. I found this website that seems to not quite be working, but whoever runs it could probably give you some more info about what's available: http://www.housesofminneapolis.com/craftsman.

About Theodor Geisel: Where's the highest concentration of his original (non-ad) work open to the public year round

Theodor Geisel: Where's the highest concentration of his original (non-ad) work open to the public year round?
I'm trying to view Theodor Geisel's (Dr. Seuss) original art work (not his ad or war work). Where is there a good concentration of galleries that carry Dr. Seuss work? I stumbled on one in either Minneapolis or Seattle. It's been so long now I can't remember. I've seen the outdoor sculpture in Pennsylvania on line but that's not his work. I'd like to go where I can see in person a good quantity of his childrens' book art and secret works. If there's a museum showing it that would be ideal.

About Wondering how difficult it would be to move from Portland to Minneapolis in mid Dec

Wondering how difficult it would be to move from Portland to Minneapolis in mid Dec?
I am planning on moving for work to Minneapolis, Minnesota from Portland, OR , most likely driving a U-Haul Ford Van.. I am comfortable to driving in the snow/ice growing up in the high sierra nevadas but the Van is not 4WD but I have a personal set of chains that would fit just in case..I heard North Dakota can be hazardous and induces insanity with the straights...and since I am planning on taking the trip straight across the Northern US through Montana and the Dakotas I am wondering if it might be better to take an alternate route? if anyone has done this or has any advice it would be greatly appreciated..

Very very cold. My best suggestion for you is to plan ahead and check the weather if you really must move in mid December.

You could try calling the store managers, I'm sure there are only a handful in Mpls.

About What parts of downtown Minneapolis would be safe to live in when walking to the financial district for work

By the river is better than by the dome anywhere along the river from the wharehouse district to down by the new guthrie is all good...especially by the stone arch bridge...the other side of downtown is not too bad either,anywhere between 11th and loring park although your walk will be further...i like the river side better...laurel village is kind of between the two and that would be pertty close for you.

First, anything can happen anywhere...you have to be careful anywhere, but you are safe in Downtown Minneapolis (for the most part) during the day. There's more cameras than ever before. At night, be aware around Hennepin Ave and 1st Ave. Now you don't specify if you are trying to find somewere to live, so I have a links for you for the Minneapolis Police Dept crime stats. Downtown is the 1st Precinct--so pull up that report, and there's several other areas to check...all interesting! Tried to find you an apartment on Craigslist, but you'll have to look for yourself...the one I found was too $$$. (3rd link) 4th link...an idea for SEVERAL units... Would rather live by Loring Park (south end of the Nicollet Mall.) More stores, and people. Stop me! Happy hunting!
