Southern Minnesota Climate - 4/16/2008

Soutern MN is a farming region with a few mid-sized cities south of Minneapolis. It is very windy as it is mostly a flat terrain and our winds come straight from North and South Dakota. Winter's last from about November to March. Our summers are very short, but beautiful. July and August can be humid. Our best months in MN are June & September; sometimes also, May & October. Fall season can be short if winter swoops in early. Spring can be wonderful too, but not if winter lasts too long! The bottom line is, Minnesota's weather is very unpreditable.

Healt Systems and Resources - 1/21/2008

I think MN is a great place for retiering people or for people with health problems. There is practically a Doctor's office every few miles away and usually you can't get it right away with out having an appointment. This is great for emergencies.

Minnesota, business not wanted here. - 4/24/2007

I have lived in a lot of states, Minnesota is without a doubt the most business restrictive. The tax rates are high and the legislature is more than willing to vote for regulations on private industry. Whether the excuse is the environment, more money for education (which Minnesota already spends PLENTY), or even the number of charter schools that are permitted by the state. The state senate recently passed the highest tax rate in the nation for those earning over $150,000 per year. This will likely not withstand the veto from the governer, but the restriction that it would put on small business is significant. 70% of Minnesota small businesses fall into the category of private filing for taxes and earning less than $150,000 per year. Jobs are already hard enough to come by in the state, there is a reason for many of the state's most significant cities having a negative population growth rate. Rochester, which was recently lauded as the fastest growing city in MN, has an economy that basically revolves around the Mayo clinic alone. IBM used to have a major facility here, but it is shrinking. Be wary before moving to Minnesota without a job already established. You may also not want to build a house here without knowing you will be here for a long time.

Minnesota is a great state - 4/23/2007

I was just recently in the state of Minnesota for medical help at the Mayo clinic. I flew into Minneapolis and drove down to Rochester. I have to say that Minnesota was the cleanest, nicest state I've ever seen. The people I met and talked to, who were natives, which were many, were the friendliest, happiest folks I've ever met. I've lived in 5 different states over my 48 years and find the people in Minnesota to be the most progressive I've ever met. You should take great pride in yourselves and your state. I'm sure you're state has had it's growing pains and problems, but believe me, you live in a real gem of a place. I know the weather isn't great but believe me, weather isn't always the only factor when it comes to liveability. I live where the sun shines more than 200 days per year and with it comes too many other negatives, too many people who don't care about where they live, crime, grafitti, pollution etc. etc. I'd take what you have in Minnesota over "sunshine" anyday!

NOT A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE - 1/3/2007

As a 34 yr old resident of minnesota. and having lived in various cities throughout the metropolitan vistas. I would disagree and argue with any individual that compliments this stale state. With harsh seasonal chaotic changes. AVERAGE OR BELOW AVERAGE job markets, high crime rates including gang relations, theft, vandalism and ignorance running rampant from one end of the spectrum to the other. I cannot understand why anyone would justify positive references to this region. People of all cultures are unfriendly. housing costs are sky rocketing.......little for not alot! AND BY ALL MEANS NECCESSARY STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM THE NORTHERN RURAL COUNTIES!!!!! The only positive feedback I can assert. would be our shopping experiences and the growth of retail environs....some of the best!!!! I might add If you are a sports fanatics minnesota does cater to this form of entertainment to the TEE! There are better places to LIVE.

My husband is a high school Eng Lit teacher. - 9/19/2006

My husband is a high school Eng Lit. teacher. He has a master's/experience in administration, but will probably want to start out as a teacher. We are thinking about moving to Minneapolis/St Paul area, Eden Prairie, Coon Rapids, or Maple Grove, but I've heard rumors that the funding for jobs in education has declined and that it's become very difficult for a teacher or administrator moving here to get a job. Is that true? If anyone has any opinions on this, please post. Thanks! Noelle

Minnesota - 9/5/2006

Minnesota is a great place to live. Health care access is among the best, as Minnesota has among the lowest rates of uninsurance in the country.

If you have a choice in the matter, DO NOT MOVE TO - 9/1/2006

Growing up I lived in 8 different cities let alone the time I spend traveling for work and recreation, so I have plenty to compare. I moved to MN without a choice, have lived here for 9 years, and have hated it the entire time. I will absolutely leave the instant I have the opportunity. "Minnesota nice" is a myth. You will have a hard time getting to know neighbors because no one in this state can think outside of their own little selfish world. If you didn't go to, as they call it, "the U" (University of MN), then you are an outsider and not worth their time. If you don't go "up north" (like MN isn't far enough for you?) for long weekends and over the summer, then you haven't lived, according to them. To sum it up in one sentence, Minnesotans think the world ends at the MN state border.
