Welcome to Minneapolis, the home of Nerf Balls, the singer and songwriter Prince, and, yes, Zubaz pants. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll stroll along the Mississippi River. Along the way, you’ll hear about: • The history of the milling industry in Minneapolis • The massive Washburn A Mill explosion of 1878 • The 35W Bridge collapse of 2007 • The secret history of "Funkytown" • An ugly mansion with 86 TVs • Cougar attacks • The untimely death of Tiny Tim • The hiring of a hitman in St. Paul • ”Untalented but adventurous” German artists, to quote the author Jonathan Raban • How long it takes a single drop of water to travel down the Mississippi – and how long it takes a person to make the same journey This walking tour can be enjoyed on location or even virtually at home with VoiceMap's Continuous Play function which disables the GPS playback.

I found this tour easy to do, and really entertaining. Lots of interesting history along the river. And even in March the Mississippi was beautiful.

We did have a bad start when my wife tripped on anuneven sidewalk crack at Gold Medal Park. She scun her nose and knees, broke her phone screen and scratched one lens on her glasses while doing a face plant. She did want to go on and we enjoyed the tour anyhow.

It is a very nice tour that covers a good amount of area. Once away from the buildings the GPS works well. I suggest moving the last two talking points to the bridge that takes one back to the beginning side of the river instead of in the middle of nowhere.
