June 07, 2013

Loring Park
Loring Park, just one of the many beautiful parks in Minneapolis. What songs about parks should we play for today's 9:30 Coffee Break?

We love our studies here at The Current's Morning Show. So we figured for our live broadcast's 9:30 Coffee Break, we'd take a look at a recent study to find our theme. According to The Trust for Public Land's 2013 "ParkScore" ranking, Minneapolis is the best. Scoring an 81 out of 100, Minneapolis (St. Paul was too small a city to be included, sorry) was miles ahead of the second place city, New York City who scored 73.5. Third place being a tie between San Francisco, Sacramento, and Boston at 72.5.

Seems like a good time to give our city a pat on the back. To celebrate the high "ParkScore" help us put together a Coffee Break of park songs.
