libkatem's review against another edition
3.0
It's so sad to think that all these beautiful buildings were torn down for progress. I love St Paul more than Minneapolis. St Paul makes no sense at all unless you memorize the streets. I wish I could have seen it before the 94 and 35E corridors were put in.
If you're interested or researching the Twin Cities, this book will prove invaluable to you.

wmhenrymorris's review against another edition
This is a heart-breaking read. Although Millett is very unsentimental and straightforward about things. It doesn't drip with nostalgia and the outrage is restrained. And he's quick to point out that not all of what was built over the years was inspired nor safe nor useful.
You'll still find yourself gnashing your teeth at times, and if you don't come away from this book with the belief that I-94 was a tragedy, a wound, a catastrophe, then you have no soul. Or you just hate urban environments.
