The Stan Turner Show 08-08-2015

The suburbs, we're all familiar with them here in the Twin Cities and now Kate Roberts of the Minnesota Historical Society is going to talk about the new exhibit coming to the History Center. Suburbia!

From the rapid growth of the 1950s to today, the suburbs are a complex and diverse part of the American cultural landscape. More than half of all Americans live in suburbs. And while residents are creating walkable neighborhoods, addressing urban sprawl and supporting environmental stewardship, the area is still largely segregated, aging and not connected to the greater metropolis. Suburbia explores Twin Cities suburbs through themes including conformity and exclusion, consumerism, and the evolution of gender roles and domestic arrangements. This exhibit is developed by the Minnesota Historical Society. On view Oct 10, 2015 - March 20, 2016
