It only rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west on the equinoxes. For you today, it rises approximately southeast by east, except that in a city, you probably can't see it until it is 10 degrees above the horizon, by which point it is (today) southeast of you.
In Mpls, being a bit norther than Cleveland, the Sun is even somewhat more south than that, but only a few degrees, so the compass points are the same.
In Anchorage, today the Sun rises southeast by south. By the time the Sun is 5 degrees over the horizon, it's south by east, and it only ever gets 6 degrees up.
I like the names of compass points. :-) I don't have them memorized though, but have to look up the list on Wikipedia.
