Nah.  It wasn't just me. In fact, while I was there, the Star-Tribune ran a lengthy article about how hard it is for out of state people to move to the Twin Cities, because the Twin Cities is so stand-offish.  It was met with huge amounts of outrage from their readers.

You can claim "Minnesota Nice" all you want, but "God's Frozen People" is more like it.

I am from Minneapolis I can see totally see how it's hard for outsiders to break in.  Adults are literally still friends with people they went to elementary school with.  People generally don't move away from the area.  If they do, most of them move back within a few years.  For most people, their entire family still lives in the area.  I'm talking about both sides.  Which is another reason why outsiders find it hard to break in -- people tend to spend a lot of time with their extended families because they are all in the area.  So people have less time to welcome outsiders into their circle.  They don't have time for the social contacts they have.

But, like anything, this is a generalization.  It really depends on what part of the city you live in, where you work, if you have kids, etc.  There are ways to meet people anywhere in the country.  Join a running club, through your kids' events, etc.  [/quote]
