The tourist website www.minneapolis.org uses the slogan "City by Nature". 

I think "An infinitely more glamorous Frankfurt" would be an improvement.

[RS> ] If you prefer a globally dysfunctional airport and a city run by
bankers ..then yes its potentially more 'glamorous'.  Granted they do have a
world class Christmas Market in season.  If you want the center of Europe ..
Munchen. You could think about Berlin but then you have a totally non
existent disfunctional airport.  Wait a few years out and you can rethink
Washington DC. A totally functional 5 runway international airport .. a full
metro rail from the airport to the city and all of Washington's many
nonexistent charms.
