How Far Is It From The University Of Minnesota (SE) To The Mall Of America In Minnestoa?

Mapquest reckons it's about 12 miles on the road between the centre point of each zip code (eventually figured out how to find it on Googlemaps, too, which reckons 13.3 miles).  Of course, it kind of depends where you start at the U of M.  Assuming SE is the south-east corner, you could probably shave a mile or so off the road distance estimates.  

Straightline distance is probably less than 10 miles.
