Rice Lake National Wildlife Refuge

Rice Lake National Wildlife Refuge is located in Aitkin County in east central Minnesota, five miles south of the community of McGregor. It was established in 1935 for waterfowl habitat preservation. The refuge includes Rice Lake itself, a shallow, 3,600-acre wild rice-producing lake. The refuge has been designated as a Globally Important Bird Area by the American Bird Conservancy due to the importance of the lake and its wild rice as a food source for migrating waterfowl, especially ring-necked ducks. Rice Lake National Wildlife Refuge has also recently become known for its population of native bigmouth buffalo that migrate to Rice Lake each spring during their annual spawning migration. With an average age of about 80 years for the bigmouth buffalo in this population and approximately 100% of individuals older than 53 years as of 2024, it is one of the oldest known populations of animals in the world. It is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the conservation and, where appropriate, restoration of fish, wildlife and plant resources and their habitats for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans. The refuge contains 14 miles of scenic roads and more than 7 miles of walking trails.

Rice Park

Rice Park is a public park in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. Features of the park include a fountain, a bandstand, sculptures of characters from the Peanuts cartoons and an ice-rink during the winter months. Rice Park is one of the venues of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival; in selected years, an ice palace is built as part of the festivities. Rice Park is bordered by the 1902 Landmark Center to the north, the 1910 Saint Paul Hotel to the east, the 1917 George Latimer Central Library to the south, and the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts to the west. History The park is named after territorial Minnesota Senator Henry Mower Rice, who donated the land to the city in 1849 along with St. Paul banker John Irvine. The lands of the park were first used by settlers to dry laundry or graze animals, including sheep. After the area was designated a park, a German florist grew flowers and vegetables on the grounds in exchange for maintenance. Trees were donated by in 1862 by St. Paul mayor John S. Prince, a fountain and bandstand were added in 1872, and electric lights were installed in 1883. Positioned within multiple traffic crossroads, it was a place for people of mixed sociopolitical backgrounds to meet; after dark, this included gay men cruising for sex. A 1965 renovation was spearheaded by the Women's Institute of Saint Paul, when a statue of a girl created by Wisconsin artist Alonzo Hauser was added as a centerpiece to the park. Renovations in 1980s included replacement of benches and paths, and a renovation in the year 2000 included a redesign of the fountain area. A $2.3 million renovation in the 2010s included a new power grid and stormwater collection and irrigation system, along with wider pathways, new benches, and café tables.

Robert Street Bridge

The Robert Street Bridge is a reinforced concrete multiple-arch bridge that spans the Mississippi River in downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. The bridge is notable for its complex design that was required to accommodate river traffic, the St. Paul Union Pacific Vertical-lift Rail Bridge crossing underneath it at an angle, and roadways on the downtown side of St. Paul. The bridge is also notable for a monumental reinforced concrete rainbow arch. The rainbow arch not only provides 62 feet of headroom above the river, but also provides a strong aesthetic focus. It was built in 1924–1926 by Fegles Construction Company, Ltd. and designed by Toltz, King & Day. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The bridge as well as Robert Street itself are named after Captain Louis Roberts, a notable French Canadian river boat captain, businessman and early settler of Saint Paul, MN. The bridge was commissioned in the early 1920s to replace a wrought-iron span, originally built in 1884–1885, that had become obsolete due to increasing traffic. The engineers who designed the bridge had several obstacles to work around. The tracks of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway, St. Paul Union Depot, and the Chicago Great Western Railway mainline were factors. The engineers also had to provide adequate clearance above the river, as defined by the United States War Department at the time. Finally, the bridge had to clear Second Street in downtown St. Paul and work through a busy manufacturing district at the south end. The location of nearly every pier was dictated by these requirements. As a result, the bridge was designed with a combination of barrel-arch and rib-arch flanking spans and a rainbow arch for the central span. One of the members of the crew building the bridge was Warren Burger, future Chief Justice of the United States.

Round Lake (Eden Prairie)

Round Lake is a lake in the city of Eden Prairie, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The lake is home to Round Lake Park and hosts various community gatherings such as the annual 4th of July Hometown Celebration and annual Eden Prairie Schooner Days Festival. The lake is named after its near-perfect circular shape, and is 1 of at least 52 lakes with the name in Minnesota. Round Lake Park Round Lake Park includes many amenities such as picnic areas, volleyball courts, tennis courts, ice rinks, baseball fields, a softball field, a boat launch, a fishing pier, a bike trail, a basketball court, a kid's playground, a maintained beach, a skate park, and a splash pad. August 22 2024 Firework Incident On August 22nd, 2024, due to being rescheduled by bad weather, the Eden Prairie 4th of July Hometown Celebration took place. Shortly after the fireworks began, some flew towards spectators sitting on the west side of the lake, exploding in crowds of people, causing many to flee and leave their things behind. According to the Parks and Recreation Director Amy Markle, nobody was injured. The issue, a knocked over mortar, was quickly fixed and the fireworks finished without incident. On the City of Eden Prairie Facebook page, Markle stated “We are very fortunate no one was injured during this accident, and we understand the unexpected event caused significant concern and alarm.”. Some residents feel that the city downplayed the incident in their response. The following year, Markle announced that all attendees would be directed to view the event from Round Lake Park, and that the west side where the incident occurred would be closed off. This move came after reviewing safety protocols and consulting both the Eden Prairie Fire Department and the fireworks company. References

Сент-Клауд (Миннесота)

Се́нт-Кла́уд (англ. Saint Cloud, дословно — «Святой Клод»; МФА: [seɪntˈklaʊd]) — город в штате Миннесота, США. Население — 61 198 чел. (по переписи 2010 года). Город расположен на территории сразу трёх округов — Стернса, Бентона и Шерберна. Мэр — Дэйв Кляйс. Назван в честь французского города Сен-Клу, носящего имя святого Клодоальда. FIPS-код города — 27-56896, GNIS-идентификатор — 0650559. История Город (англ. city) возник в 1856 году в результате объединения трёх небольших городков (англ. town); ныне районы, на территории которых они располагались, называют Верхним, Средним и Нижним городом (англ. Upper, Middle and Lower Towns). Во время восстания сиу в 1862 году город служил пристанищем для беженцев. В 1868 году через город была проведена железная дорога; одновременно с этим началась добыча гранита из близлежащего карьера. К 1900 году Сент-Клауд стал одним из крупнейших городов в штате благодаря своему выгодному положению на транспортных путях. В 1869 году в городе был построен университет; двадцать лет спустя — тюрьма, в которую свозили преступников со всего штата. В 1973 году город был награждён премией «All-America City Award» (с англ. — «Всеамериканский город») присуждаемой Национальной гражданской лигой, которую иногда неофициально называют «Нобелевской премией за конструктивное гражданство» и которая выдается за активную гражданскую позицию жителей некорпоративных сообществ Соединённых Штатов в жизни местного самоуправления. Население Население Сент-Клауда стабильно растёт: если в 1980 году здесь проживали 42 566 чел., а в 1990 — 48 812, то по переписи 2000 г. — 58 978 человек, а по переписи 2010 г. — 61 198 чел. Количество домохозяйств — 24 927 (в 2010 году). Площадь составляет 80,1 км² (78,1 км² — суша, 2 км² — вода). Плотность населения — 783,6 чел./км². При этом неуклонно растёт доля и численность афроамериканцев, уроженцев стран Азии и смешанных групп населения — прирост с 1990 по 2010 гг. составил для них от 70 % до 1191 %. В агломерации (англ. Metropolian area) проживает более 250 000 человек. Экономика Город расположен в сельскохозяйственном крае. В окрестностях Сент-Клауда выращивают рожь, кукурузу, сою, бобовые, ячмень; развито птицеводство. В то же время в городе есть развитая промышленность — пищевая отрасль, производство автобусов, холодильников, станкостроение. Также налажено производство бетона, бумаги и другой промышленной продукции. В городе есть аэропорт. Города-побратимы В 2006 году Сент-Клауд и немецкий Шпальт стали городами-побратимами.
