Why did Minneapolis' flour boom go bust?
Minneapolis' "Mill City" nickname traces its roots to a 50-year period when the city's flour milling dominated the world market.

Eric Roper and Hannah Sayle discuss how Minneapolis rose to prominence as a flour milling capital, and the many factors that led to the decline of flour milling on the riverfront.
