How is it?
Public transportation?
Housing costs?
Young people city/old folks city?
And anything else you might want to add.

Cold doesn't scare me. Blondes scare me more.

yes, they have public transport. not very good though. lots of busses and a light rail system. i don't think the light rail covers much of the city.
housing is cheap compared w/ other cities. one bedrooms rent for about 600-750. houses start at around 250,000.
definately a young people city. i think it was recently voted most literate city in america in some poll or something.
it is cold as fuck. but only during the winter. summers are very nice. the climate is comparable to nyc, actually. four very distinct seasons.
great live music and tons of museums. lots of theater too. |

be careful | That's a fucking lame statistic. Where did you get it from?
What sort of rapes, anyway? All "rapes"? Rapes based on convictions? Reported or alleged rapes? Is your second sentence supposed to follow on from the first as it appears?

The lack of good public transport troubles me a little since I don't drive. However, I would move there for a job and I guess I could make sure to live really close by. This is all hypothetical, but I'd like to know it's a city I wouldn't mine moving to.

| | | I believe the public transport is excellent. If you're looking for buses, I think it's great. The lightrail hits the big spots like the Metrodome and the Mall of America. By 2010, there is going to be a lightrail going from Minneapolis to Big Lake(40 minutes west of the cities) that will be making various stops in between for all the suburbanites. I've lived fairly close to Minneapolis my whole life and I'm moving there in May. I think it's a great city. I hope everything works out for you! |

| | yeah minneapolis was a place i'd considered moving in the fall. it was minneapolis, milwaukee, or chicago, because my ass can't get out of the midwest and secretly probably doesn't want to. but it's gonna be chicago now. because that's where my jap of a best friend want to move. she's not really a jap but she lives there now. WOW this post is helpful, huh?
okay quick i'll find something that actually might be--
alright here it is: 
spoonbridge and cherry. that's in minneapolis. |

| | | Thanks for posting that picture, cricket. I was feeling all doomy and gloomy about the possibility of moving from here to the Minneapolis because everyone here was poopooing the city (I think it's because it sounds so similar to where we are now). But now I see a park, a sculpture, and a very nice building.
I have liked that piece of aht for a while now, but I didn't realize what city it was in.
The information about rent and public transport makes me feel a bit happier, too.

| | Okay so I just found out it is Oldenberg and I was just talking about how messing with scale is like one of the funniest things ever...why is it funny? is it undermining function of objects? augmenting the small details? what is it?!
