"The city has had a hard time getting upscale retail and restaurants,"
That's not because of the name. I'm pretty sure that has something to do with the historic concentration of wealth into a couple of urban nieghborhoods and the south-western burbs, and not in the northern ring of burbs.
But the name doesn't help. Hicksville would read as about as sophisticated. IMO, these folks ought to be working on getting the commuter rail up through the highway 10 corridor instead...it's a project that's been in the works for a long time, and could really help bring up land values up there by suddenly reducing the average commute in to Minneapolis.
