CNN poked the bear Friday when it posted a travel article calling St. Paul a “neighborhood” of Minneapolis.

“Oh no they did not,” posted one Twitter user. Other comments followed, mostly gifs of people rolling their eyes or shaking their heads.

It’s not the article aimed at Super Bowl visitors that’s the problem so much as the headline: “Minneapolis’ must-see neighborhoods.”

Listed along with “the North Loop,” “Downtown,” “Uptown” and “the Lakes” is St. Paul, which is most definitely not a neighborhood of Minneapolis, but a city all its own, and the state’s capital city to boot.

The writer of the article, Minneapolis freelancer Joel Hoekstra, thought the reaction was typical of the ongoing “sibling rivalry” between the Twin Cities.

“I do not think that St. Paul is a neighborhood of Minneapolis,” he said. “Everybody knows its a suburb of Woodbury, right?”

St. Paul, are you laughing yet?

In the article, which tells Super Bowl travelers what else to see while they’re in town, Hoekstra calls St. Paul the place to “become a kid again,” directing folks to the Minnesota Children’s Museum, the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Bell Museum of Natural History.

Hoekstra says the ribbing is all in good fun, that he did not write the headline and that he does not expect the rivalry to be settled anytime soon.

“I love St. Paul,” he said. “It’s great.”

He added slyly, that it’s a nice quiet city for people to retreat to after enjoying all the Super Bowl excitement in Minneapolis.

If his comments make St. Paulites want to rush to Twitter to post a not-so-Minnesota-nice reply, he wants the public to know he doesn’t have a Twitter account.

“I don’t see any of that,” he said. “Most of the things on Twitter are a big waste of time.”
