I haven't been able to find it, but I "heard" that Ka.ge (the
"official"
fan mag) did a series of articles on the Twin Cities.

Also there was quite a bit about the area in the Shadowrun Time-line that
has been floating around the net. You can get this info through the SR
Explorer in Paolo's archive. Let me know if you done have WWW access,
and I'll send the pertinent data directly to you.

I swear to god I am going to shoot whoever wrote those articles I dug up
with the Explorer. It's like watching a Saturday Night Live skit about
Minnesota, and about as amusing. And we all know how amusing SNL is right
now, don't we.

Christ, the Australia guys complain about everyone expecting kangaroos. :)
Most of the MSstuff is either wildly improbable or incredibly obnoxious,
or both. Oy. Watch me happily ignore most of it, thank you.

Thanks for the pointer at least. :)

You too hey???? The Aust. sourced stuff annoys me no end, as well.

But it does stand as a decent starting point to cut and hack it into what
you really want.
