Yup, Burke. Anoka-Hennepin School District 11 serves Anoka, Blaine, Coon Rapids, Fridley, Ramsey, Andover, Champlin, Dayton, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Burns Township, and Oak Grove Township. Which really is a pretty huge area...

Into the mid-late 40s, Hilltop (the tiny, mobile home-dominated town surrounded by Columbia Heights) was home to a golf course and the Oak Grove Riding Academy and Stables, which is a very odd thought if you've been there in the last few decades. So yeah, I guess I see what you mean about the definition of "suburbs." I still don't believe that 77th and W.River Road was as idyllic as Keillor claims, though. :)
