  • What to Do in Minneapolis, the Prince Capital of the World
    Minneapolis is synonymous with Prince, but there’s plenty more for visitors to do after they’ve experienced Paisley Park. NTH AMERICA WHAT TO DO IN MINNEAPOLIS, THE PRINCE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD SUSAN BUGG, ESCAPE March 25, 2019 6:19am As the Beatles are to Liverpool, England, and Elvis Presley to Memphis, Tennessee, the legendary, late Prince is unequivocally tied to Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was born and lived in the Midwest US state’s biggest city all his 57 years before his premature death on April 21, 2016, performing, sitting in corners of bars and clubs, frequenting record stores, riding his bike around his home suburb Chanhassen and watching his beloved pro sports teams. Now, like the Beatles and Elvis, Prince Rogers Nelson is making his home city a destination for anyone who loved his music; and given he’s sold 100 million records worldwide, that’s a lot of people. And though the Prince factor is what makes Minneapolis unique, along the way visitors are discovering a liberal, progressive city with world-class dining and a proud history as the world’s flour milling capital, thanks to its location on the Mississippi River. THE PURPLE PATH All Prince roads lead to Paisley Park, the sprawling recording complex and party venue the musician created in a cornfield in the outer suburb of Chanhassen in 1987. Before he died, Prince had been working on turning the white warehouse-styled building into a museum — he had already designed a “History Hallway”. With posthumous help from the ultimate experts in such things, Graceland Holdings, Paisley Park opened for public tours in October 2016, six months after his death.
