Are there any walkable suburbs in the Twin Cities?

[lealea]

I'm moving to the Twin Cities from L.A (originaly from the Midwest) and I HATE the suburbs...which is basicaly all L.A is. But my family might have to relocate to one near the Twin Cities instead of the metro area directly. Anyway, are there any walkable, pedestrian friendly, hip urban-suburban centers in any of the suburbs of the Twin Cities? A place with a downtown where one can live w/o driving around? Good transit system, or public trans. readily availabe? Something with an accesible downtown? You know where you can browse, culture, shops, restaurants etc.? I don't have a license so I'm really trapped otherwise. Maybe asking too much but I'm unfamiliar with Minneapolis/St. Paul and am trying to avoid being stuck in another car-centric no man's land. Thank you.
