Expensive to live there - 10/27/2008
It is very expensive to live in Minnesota. Makes it hard to be single and survive. Also, the people here are very surface. and if you don't grow up here they treat you like an outsider. They are down right rude sometimes. We have been here for almost 2 years and can hardly afford groceries. Even clerks in the store are hard to be friendly too. They have alot of "toys" here. i.e. boats and things because of the lakes. Hard to fit in that's for sure. I don't recommend living here if you did not grow up

A state of extremes - 7/21/2008
I have lived in Minnesota all of my life (48 years). The winters are cold and long and the summers are hot and humid. One must heat one's house in the winter and cool it in the summer, buy warm clothing in the winter and cool clothing for summer and medium weight clothing for spring and fall. When the weather is nice, the mosquitoes, biting flies and wood ticks come to life.
I must leave

"Minnesota Nice" - 7/5/2008
The true definition of "minnesota nice" is that people are polite to your face, but never friendly. Minnesotans do not like to make new friends or meet new people in general and they tend to be passive-aggresive and gossipy. They also tend to have pretty much no interest in the outside world, and like to think of themselves as being "tougher" than people in warmer climates. They also like to make fun of what they call "snow birds", which are retired people who spend winter in warmer parts of the country. Personally, i think that by the time you're old enough to retire, and you've lived through 65+ years of hellacious 6-7 month winters, you've earned the right to sit on the beach in
