Just past the north edge of Minneapolis

Minneapolis sits just southwest of Fridley and directly south of Columbia Heights, so Two Stooges is just past the city's northern edge. From the center of Minneapolis it is about 8 miles in a straight line.

Highway 47 is University Avenue in Columbia Heights, the city between Minneapolis and Fridley, and Two Stooges is on that avenue at 7178 University Ave NE. Northeast Minneapolis has an arts district with about 400 independent artists and the Art-A-Whirl open studio tour every May. The Mississippi runs through the city past Saint Anthony Falls, the only natural waterfall on the river, and the same river forms Fridley's western border. The name itself joins the Dakota word for water, mni, with the Greek word for city, polis.

The town was authorized in 1856, incorporated as a city in 1867 and merged with St. Anthony in 1872. It holds a 12-mile stretch of the Mississippi and occupies both banks, and its landmarks include the Guthrie Theater, the Walker Art Center, the Mill City Museum and the Basilica of Saint Mary.
