Minneapolis
The city of Minneapolis offers many of the cultural and intellectual attractions of a big city, but also offers the affordability and convenience of a medium-size city. We have the Guthrie Theater, major league sports franchises, the University of Minnesota, and many corporate headquarters. You will not find the equivalent in Indianapolis, for example.
On the other hand, this metropolitan area does have its shortcomings. Public transportation isn't very good, the Winters are long and usually severe, and there isn't a great deal of ethnic diversity. The people who were born and raised here tend to not be socially inclusive.
If you like to bicycle, from April to October, the Twin Cities area is one of the best places in the United States. We have an excellent network of bicycle trails and continue to add more.
