Having lived in Calhoun/Isles, Whittier/Lyndale and now very near to Powderhorn, I can say with reasonable authority that they are completely different neighborhoods.

Grouping Lyndale and Whittier with Powderhorn makes no sense. These neighborhoods are firmly divided from Powderhorn via 35w. They should be considered part of the Calhoun/Isles community.

No restaurants on Eat Street? Next time pick up a rock and throw it…you’ll hit one. Granted, you won’t find the Chipotles or LeAnn Chins of vibrant and active Hennepin Ave…but they are there.

Kevin — I liked your analogy at first, but I think the problem with it is that Minneapolis geography is indeed all relative to downtown like it or not, whereas US geography obviously does not revolve around Minnesota.

Perhaps start a wiki and allow us readers to define the neighborhood the way that makes sense to us.

We're playing with something like that over in the MNteractive Directory

Simon is the nieghborhood guru of the Twin Cities. I am impressed (and awtonished, frankly) by the depth of thought he’s put into this.

1. Where is eat street? I mean, I see signs all over the place and naturally I expect to find restaurants near them, but I don’t?

2. Rex- that’s like saying Iowa is the southern United States because you go south to get there from Minnesota.
