All images must be taken within the Whittier neighborhood, and must be recognizably Whittier. They may be photographs of any variety of subjects, objects, or people. You may submit images new and old, but they must be in digital form and in color. We encourage images from all seasons and events. We want to see what makes Whittier, Whittier!

Welcome to Whittier

Whittier Neighborhood Whittier is an active urban residential neighborhood just south of downtown Minneapolis. It was home to many of Minneapolis' historical founders, including the first Mayor of Minneapolis, Dorilus Morrison, and the Pillsbury and Washburn families. The neighborhood's notoriety and distinction is linked to the internationally-known Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) and the Children's Theatre, and a thriving stretch of Nicollet Avenue known as "Eat Street" due to its diverse restaurants and groceries. The neighborhood's 15,000 residents represent 30 countries, and over 25 language groups. The Whittier neighborhood is a historic and colorful mix of artistic culture and ethnic cultures.  It is truly "The International Neighborhood," where diversity becomes community. The Whittier Alliance, the officially recognized Citizen Participation organization for the neighborhood, works with residents, businesses and governmental agencies to further the common interests of the Whittier neighborhood.
