	This Minneapolis neighborhood draws historical flair from a past in flour milling, while exuding trend-setting panache among hip hangouts and eateries along the beautiful riverbanks. A dual landscape, the Riverfront celebrates the past with national landmarks, historic districts and museums – yet anticipates the future with innovative theater, tours and events.
