Editing Minneapolis–Saint Paul (section)

===Rivalry===
Minneapolis and Saint Paul have competed since they were founded, resulting in some duplication of effort.<ref name="OAH">{{cite web|url=http://www.oah.org/pubs/nl/2007feb/wingerd.html |title=Separated at Birth: The Sibling Rivalry of Minneapolis and St. Paul |first=Mary Lethert|last=Wingerd |date=February 2007 |publisher=Organization of American Historians |work=OAH Newsletter |issue=35 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120707020313/http://www.oah.org/pubs/nl/2007feb/wingerd.html |archive-date=July 7, 2012 }}</ref> After Saint Paul completed its elaborate [[Cathedral of Saint Paul (Minnesota)|cathedral]] in 1915, Minneapolis followed up with the equally ornate [[Basilica of Saint Mary, Minneapolis|Basilica of St. Mary]] in 1926. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the rivalry became so intense that an architect practicing in one city was often refused business in the other. The [[1890 United States census]] even led to the two cities arresting and/or kidnapping each other's census takers, in an attempt to keep each city from outgrowing the other.<ref name="Cen1">{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1890/06/21/archives/censusbred-bitterness-st-paul-and-minneapolis-have-locked-horns.html|title=Census-Bred Bitterness; St. Paul and Minneapolis Have Locked Horns |newspaper=New York Times |date=June 21, 1890 }}</ref><ref name="Cen2">{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1890/06/22/archives/they-want-hays-scalp-st-paul-residents-are-going-to-descend-upon.html|title=They Want Hay's Scalp.; St. Paul Residents Are Going to Descend Upon Washington |date=June 22, 1890 |newspaper=New York Times.}}</ref><ref name="Cen3">{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1890/07/23/archives/fighting-over-the-census-st-paul-jealous-of-minneapolis-and-charges.html|title=Fighting over the Census; St. Paul Jealous of Minneapolis and Charges Fraud |date=July 23, 1890|newspaper=The New York Times.}}</ref>

The rivalry occasionally erupted into inter-city violence, as at a 1929 game between the [[Minneapolis Millers]] and the [[St. Paul Saints]], both [[baseball]] teams of the [[American Association (20th century)|American Association]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Thornley |first1=Stew |title=Baseball in Minnesota: The Definitive History |date=2006 |publisher=Minnesota Historical Society |isbn=978-0-87351-551-1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=D0u6nMN6iwoC&dq=Sammy+Bohne+Doesn%E2%80%99t+Play%2C+But+Gets+More+Hits+Than+Those+Who+Do&pg=PA63 |access-date=October 18, 2021 |language=en}}</ref> In the 1950s, both cities competed for a [[major league baseball]] franchise (which resulted in two rival stadiums being built), and there was a brief period in the mid-1960s when the two cities could not agree on a common calendar for [[daylight saving time]], resulting in a few weeks when people in Minneapolis were one hour "behind" those in Saint Paul.<ref>{{cite news |title=May 10, 1965: Minneapolis falls an hour behind St. Paul |url=http://www.startribune.com/may-10-1965-minneapolis-falls-an-hour-behind-st-paul/371419821/ |newspaper=Star Tribune}}</ref>

The cities' mutual antagonism was largely healed by the end of the 1960s, aided by the simultaneous arrival in 1961 of the [[Minnesota Twins]] of the [[American League]] and the [[Minnesota Vikings]] of the [[National Football League]], both of which identified themselves with the state as a whole (the former explicitly named for both Twin Cities) rather than either city (like the earlier [[Minneapolis Lakers]]). Since 1961, it has been common practice for any major sports team based in the Twin Cities to be named for Minnesota as a whole. In terms of development, the two cities remain distinct in their progress, with Minneapolis absorbing new and avant-garde architecture while Saint Paul continues to carefully integrate new buildings into the context of classical and Victorian styles.<ref name="OAH" />
