Twin Cities Then and Now (Minnesota)

From Larry Millett, author of the award-winning Lost Twin Cities, comes this fascinating book that explores the history of Minneapolis and St. Paul from the vantage point of their streets. "Because of their relative stability, streets offer an incomparable framework for looking at the urban past and comparing it to the present," writes Millett in his introduction to Twin Cities Then and Now, which consists of seventy-two historic street scenes matched with new photographs taken from the same locations. Accompanying each scene is an informative essay that examines the often astonishing changes wrought by time and circumstance.
