What I can say most about Minneapolis is that it has all of the aspects of a larger city in a smaller, less stressful, cheaper package. The arts here are huge -- all kinds. I think we have the second most theater seats per capita to NYC or something like that. A lot of craftsmen, musicians, breweries all over the place. It's authentic and non-flashy. Like DC, people are also well-read, educated, and our NPR station here is one of the most popular in the country.

I wouldn’t start bragging about public radio up in MN. MPR let Garrison Keillor turn the organization into his sexual playground #metoo

MPR is so much more than Garrison Keillor. Most Minnesotans didn't even like Prairie Home Companion. My mom always thought the folksy stereotype was too much (and to be honest, she's VERY folks...just don't tell her).

I grew up in Minnesota and would move back in a heartbeat. You can't go wrong with the schools and the local museums and cultural institutions are really trying to make an effort to represent the state's diverse communities.

It is so painfully cold though. You'll save a lot of money on general living expenses, but you'll need it for your winter/spring vacations to warmer climates.
