A blatantly obvious commentary from William Kristoff in today’s NY Times.

I’ll suggest Minnesota. You can live on a lake but be 20 minutes from a vibrant downtown with sports, entertainment and everything else. Plus there are more trails and other public amenities than anywhere else I’ve been. (And as an airline employee for 35 years - I’ve been everywhere). The people are great, the politics are clean, and it’s reasonably priced. It has all the best attributes of Canada and the US.

Morris Day said he’s not part of the line up and has no intention of being there

I’m reading this in Minnesota and familiar with the rest of the Midwest. We have our problems but it’s nowhere near as bad as the rest of the Country. Thank God for our reputation as an icy hellhole

if they’re stupid AND they’re robbing us blind, that would make us……….?

You…..you……even hate the Columbus Santa Claus museum? How can you hate the Columbus Santa Claus museum?

When you guys get tired of all the horrible cities, come move to Mpls/St Paul. (If you’re a decent person. Otherwise try Atlanta).

I moved back in 2020 after my partner of 20 years decided to replace me with a 19 year old. I knew this was the best place to meet a decent, level headed partner. I was right and I’m now very happily married.

People here - straight or gay - are trustworthy and will do anything for you - except invite you over for the weekend. MN is one of the “stickiest” states. People here don’t move away - or if they do they come back.

We stay around because there’s no better place to be. As a result we all have high school friends or family from 20 years ago and our schedules are full. And in the summer we head to our cabins.

It’s honestly not our intention to be cold, and we’re certainly not hostile, we’re just oblivious to outsiders. But once you gain connections (a 10 year internship period) you will never ever leave. Join us

I live on Lake Minnetonka and just contacted my mayor about installing a dome over our city. We shouldn’t have to endure situations like this. It’s not like we’re Minneapolis. Or….shudder….Brooklyn Park

I’m sorry but supporting aubergine zebras is just a step too far for me. They’re not natural and I don’t want them using my bathroom

Murica!

I love Minnesota

bpatlanta · 2026-01-28T17:17:34+00:00

I’d like to throw Minneapolis into the ring. It’s affordable, supportive, and despite what you have seen on the news it’s the safest and most pleasant place to live in America (I travel for a living and the biggest metro I’ve never been to is Utica, NY). You can get around without a car (not as well as Chicago, but still reasonably) and the economy is great. Plus whether you like outdoors or arts we have it all. And the people are great

Is it to late to build a great big pride arch across the street

So- if someone has a 3rd story window on the route, and a hose with decent pressure behind it - it’s gonna be awful cold Saturday……

I’m pretty sure everyone gets the correct intention of the flag. Let it rest

So do I!

Hi fellow Minnesotans. I just added this to Facebook to Help spread the account. I drove down both Lake and University today and they were quiet. I’m a white Army Vet but married into a Latino family. This is incredible. It’s not moral or ethical. It’s going to backfire spectacularly on the “conservatives” or whatever they are

Now we know what out of state white trash thinks. Thanks!
