People:
Nice. Minnesotans are nicer if you went to highschool/college with them. Out-of-staters don't do so well. To be really accepted, you have to be from here.
Weather:
Winter:
IT'S COLD. Somehow, the cold in MN will freeze the marrow in your bones. You will wonder why the HELL you live here every morning.
Minnesotans pride themselves that it only gets "cold" here when it hits negative temperatures. We get excited when it gets above freezing.
Summer:
Best summer in the world. Lakes, flawless temperature, sunny. Birds singing and blue skies. Ice cream and popcorn at Lake Harriet. Canoeing in the Boundary Waters. Going to the cabin. Life is really good.
Spring/Fall: Normal.
Recreation:
We know how to have a good time. We aren't all about ice fishing. We can have raging parties. Come to MN, make the right friends, and enjoy.
We also have the Mall of America, which kinda spoils us.
The Twin Cities=AWESOME. You want metropolitan, cool, and all the amenities of a Chicago/New York City without the stress. Minneapolis. Urban shops, cool boutiques, weird hole-in-the-walls, amazing band venues.
More artsy, alternative? St. Paul. Rich in history and art, all the hipsters love St. Paul.
Sports:
Overall, our sports teams are OK. Our biggest asset is the Vikings, which as of 2011, sucked, but Vikes fans bleed gold and purple. We are the best fans in the world.

Get the Minnesota mug.The Twins only won the World Series twice, in 1987 and 1991. They went in 1965 but got beat by the Dodgers in 7 games.
I like the Minnesota Twins because they win games and don't buy championships like the Yankees, but can we please get a new fucking stadium?

Get the I'll tell mine you're gay mug.A National Hockey League franchise headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. The team is often considered both successful and highly underrated as of late, due to the fact the franchise has only been active since the year 2000, but have managed to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs three times in a six season span, which is well above the norm for expansion teams (another franchise, the Columbus Blue Jackets, was inducted into the league the same year and have yet to make the playoffs once).
In recent history, the Minnesota Wild have made a very well-known reputation as a highly defensive team. Due to their conservative strategy, the Wild often find themselves categorized as a team with the fewest goals against. This is attributed most commonly to the Wild's initial (and still current: 12/07/08) head coach, Jacques Lemaire, who historically employs highly defensive strategy, demands strong performance from his goaltenders and prioritizes his teams' penalty kill units. The Wild's defensive strategy is often compared to that of the late 90's New Jersey Devils, which was also coached by Lemaire.
Uniquely, the Minnesota Wild franchise focuses much of its efforts on fan appreciation. Upon its creation, the Wild dubbed their home state as the "State of Hockey," in honor of the state's strong interest in hockey. The Wild also dubs itself as the "Team of 18,000," again honoring Minnesota fans as dedicated. As a testament to this honor, as of December 07 2008, the Wild have sold out every single home game in franchise history.

Get the Minnesota Wild mug.The City in the state of good ol' Minnesota. The biggest city too (in the state at least). Minneapolis is most famous for the founding city and headquarters of Target. Minneapolis is apart of the Twin Cities Metro Area with the City of Saint Paul, the Capital City of Minnesota just next door. Prince, yes Prince was born and raised here in Minneapolis! Minneapolis has over 400K residents living in the city and over 3 Million living in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area.
Unfortunately every city has its downsides, Minneapolis is seeing a surge in crimes and in 2020 there were riots due to the killing of George Floyd. But Minneapolis is recovering from the violence, protests, and riots. Over majority of the protests for George Floyd remained Peaceful.
On a lighter note, Minneapolis has many many parks, unique businesses/restaurants, lots of traffic, and jobs. In Uptown Minneapolis there is a famous nail place called "Little Luxuries Nail Lounge" that did (Sunisa Lee) Suni Lee's Nails for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Did you know that Minneapolis is building a few new skyscrapers? One of them is the tallest residential building the the state of Minnesota!
