I've lived in the Midwest most of my life and after living in the East for a year, chose to move to Twin Cities and stay. Weather sucks, but the cost of living is good. Opportunities are good, schools are good. If I can take a vacation to somewhere warm in February I can make it through the winter just fine.

It's not 'cool' like NY, CA, but we've got good food, fun things to do, and can realistically build the life we want.

I hope more people move here. There's plenty of room for more of the 5 over 1 apartments everyone maligns but are affordable. There's room for more sleepy suburbs, bike paths, and you-pick orchards.
