VideoLine: Why We're Here--a grass-roots tribute to the Twin Cities

A few weeks ago, The Line ran an article by Holly Dolezalek on a Knight Foundation-backed survey that asked Twin Cities residents what they love about their city. At about the same time, Susan Bernstein and Mary McGreevy of Seven And Sixty Productions released this video on very much the same topic, and the answers the filmmakers heard confirm the survey results--but in color and sound.

Our lakes, our parks, and especially our arts--these are the leading reasons that people love it here, stay here, and put up with the cold and the white stuff that challenge us here. Filmed during the summer of 2010, Why We're Here: Twin Cities reminds us of our many blessings--and reassures us that the Big Melt will come and all will be green again.
