The front side of "Explore Minnesota Bikeways: Map B - Metro Northwest" contains the map index, a list of county and municipal parks, a "potpourri" article with illustrations of the Old North School and St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Plymouth; and a checklist of touring supplies with a diagram of where to put supplies on a bike. The back side contains a legend of signs and symbols, bicycling safety tips, and the larger bikeways map. MnDOT's bikeway maps serve as a reference guide illustrating major historical and cultural points of interest in Minnesota, public park lands and facilities, equipment, and safety information. They also depict road analyses for bicycle travel, location of paved road shoulders and off-road bikeways, and controlled access roads where bicycles are prohibited. There are 54 maps in the Statewide Series (1979-1983), 4 maps in the Statewide Quadrant Series (1986-1993), and 2 maps in the Metro Series (1989). Legislatively mandated, these maps were prepared as convenient guides to help bicyclists select their routes. Each map is unique and signifies a historical reference to the state of bicycle facilities at the time of publication.

In this interview, Mark Swedlund (1950 - ) discusses his father's building company Ecklund and Swedlund, which constructed homes in the western suburbs of Minneapolis during the period of returning World War II G. I.'s and immigration of Jewish families from North Minneapolis. Development and building are discussed within this historical and geographical context. This interview was conducted by Jeff Norman, oral historian from California. "Urban Exodus: The Saint Louis Park Oral History Project" explores the post-World War II migration of Minneapolis's Jewish community from the city's North Side to the western suburb of Saint Louis Park. The 35 oral history interviews, representing diverse perspectives from within and beyond the Jewish community, tell the complex story of how, from 1945 to 1970, Saint Louis Park became a major center of Jewish life in Minnesota.
