The Minneapolis skyline approaching from the east reveals the Mississippi
River from where the city grew from a small lumber and milling settlement in the 1860s
to the prime industrial city of the upper midwest in the 1970s. The 57-story IDS Center,
tallest building between Chicago and San Francisco, offers a panoramic view of the city
from its 51st floor observation deck. The General Convention of the Episcopal Church
will hold its triennial meeting in Minneapolis/St. Paul, September 11-23. (Photo from
