Yes- I live in Minneapolis (former DCUM). Recommend South Minneapolis, Edina, Wayzata or Minnetonka areas to live. Best public school districts- Edina, Minnetonka, Wayzata. Best privates- Blake, Breck.

Now that that's out of the way...clean, nice people, good schools, decent restaurants/cultural activities. Life centers around the lakes in the summer. There are some weapons grade bugs here, also have to watch for lyme, but you're probably used to that.

Right now it's 14 degrees with a lot of snow that won't melt before we get more more snow. Will be down to -8F next week. You need a snow blower, heavy waterproof boots, and heavy coat/gloves/hat.

There are weird quirks to the houses- everyone has a water softener, an air exchanger, a furnace humidifier. You want these things, trust me.

I love it here.

pp here again- I realized that I didn't really answer. Minneapolis is just a nice place- you can get out of the rat race, have a slightly less expensive life style, and hang out with passive aggressive Minnesota "nice." It is a good change of pace. It's a good place to land.

The weather....I'm from the Midwest, so not too shocked or bothered, but it's cold. It started to get cold in October and except for one or two days, it hasn't been above freezing since Mid November. You have to be kind of tough and rev up that snow blower (a shovel won't cut it)-- or pay to have someone shovel your driveway. Some of our neighbors do that but it's a bit expensive and I like pushing the snow blower. Very satisfying and quite a work out.  [/quote]
