Amanda & Andrew Root and their son Liam will open their home to Home Tour visitors on May 3-4, 2003.

The Minneapolis Neighborhood Revitalization Program and the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul are proud to present the 2003 Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour during the weekend of May 3-4. Because the NRP has invested more than $90 million in programs and projects aimed at maintaining and improving the city's housing stock, the Home Tour is the ultimate stage for showcasing some of these housing investments at work.

Each year, residents participating in the NRP throughout the city seize this occasion to put their homes and neighborhoods on display during what has become the Twin Cities' biggest weekend celebration of city living. This year, volunteers from five Minneapolis neighborhood organizations have organized special neighborhood tours so that thousands of Home Tour enthusiasts can see how they live, work, learn and play. Hundreds of additional NRP volunteers will meet and greet home tour visitors in 38 homes scattered throughout 31 Minneapolis neighborhoods. All together, 60 homes will be featured as part of the 16th annual Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour during the weekend of May 3-4, 2003.

Be sure to visit homes 3, 5, 14, 20, 22, 26, 29, 35 and 38 to see the physical impacts your NRP investments have made.

Visit the official Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour Web site at www.msphometour.com for a sneak preview of all 38 Minneapolis homes.

Home Tour Guides containing descriptions and addresses of all 60 homes will be available beginning April 21 at all metro Bruegger's Bagels, Hirshfield's Decorating Centers and Lathrop Paint Supply Company Stores. Guides can also be obtained in the April 17 Southwest Journal, select issues of the April 30 Star Tribune and Pioneer Press or by calling 612-673-5140.
