Mini-Apple (summary)
"Minneapolis" actually means the "city of lakes" or "city of waters." However, it sounds like it means "mini-apples."
After "the Big Apple" became famous in the 1970s, some writers began calling Minneapolis the "mini-apple." Unlike Manhattan, Kansas with "Little Apple," "Mini Apple" was never trademarked or formally used.

I was going from "The Big Apple" to a city that is - and only a New Yorker can appreciate how depressing this is - known as "The Mini-Apple".
