Minneapolis once had a neighborhood called Bohemian Flats, but that was named for a different kind of Bohemian. Now the Mill City, together with St. Paul, has achieved top-ten status among the most Bohemian cities in the United States and Canada. Richard Florida explains the rankings at the Atlantic magazine's website.
"The index charts the concentration of working artists, musicians, writers, designers, and entertainers across metropolitan areas. We measure it as a location quotient, which basically compares regional employment to the national norm, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and StatsCan. ... Los Angeles is North America's most bohemian metro, followed by New

top 10 are Nashville, Salt Lake City (which may come as a surprise to
some), Minneapolis-St. Paul, San Francisco, and Montreal."
