st. paul really doesn't have much in the way of "independence" from minneapolis. MUCH more than a toronto/hamilton or dallas/ft. worth scenario, the twin cities really do function much more as a single city entity that just happens to have two different municipal governments and two downtowns. it's a somewhat unusual arrangement in the US.
the city hall to city hall distance is only 9 miles (connected by a light rail line, not commuter or regional rail), and the two cities share a 6 mile long border with each other, quite different from the other city pairs being mentioned here.
