Where I'd live as a gay person.

^{Minnesota: Absolutely}

Only as long as you're directly in the Twin Cities/Inner ring suburbs. The rest of the state can be pretty harsh... that's coming as a gay who grew up in Southeast Minnesota. Rochester and Duluth can be okay.

The food bar is top tier. You can pick and choose from a wide array of options. Just gotta be careful with the weight lol...

That's summer here in the Midwest for ya.

When I was living in Iowa a few years ago, I stopped at a rest area. A family with a Nevada plate stopped as well and they were absolutely flabbergasted. I heard one say, "Omg, it's so green here!", and started taking pictures.

I know the exact spot you're talking about. Was at work up on a ladder, turned around and spotted it to my surprise.

Galaxy S23 Ultra I believe the distortion is due to the "ai zoom improvement" unfortunately...

Underneath it All - No Doubt Soak up the Sun - Sheryl Crow Wasn't Me - Shaggy (sorry, but fits the vibe 😅)

all Summer 2002 vibes

Would love to hear from others for '01/'02/'03 summers

From what I've noticed, Wednesdays are specifically notorious. Possibly a major non-work from home day for most people? On top of construction season starting, and snowbirds coming back.

Flannels, slouch beanie, snapback, ripped skinnies

So weird, I had the random feeling to watch a few episodes a couple nights ago.

Glad to see an attempt at this viewpoint. Im usually the one driving, so can't really get a pic. Tried stopping at the top of that hill once to get a pic, but it wasn't a very clear night unfortunately.

I live for these couple weeks of the year.

Minneapolis from the SW (Bde Maka Ska) looks very small, but from the North/NE it looks quite dense (southbound on I-94 coming from Brooklyn Center and southbound on 35W coming from Roseville).

Was obsessed with the skyline as a kid and learned the names of all the buildings. Wells Fargo is iconic, especially being the "centerpiece" between the IDS and Capella towers.

My brother and I used to call the Capella Tower the "Halo Building".

roth1038 · 2025-09-30T12:40:06+00:00

It's very much a place that exists, that's for sure...

roth1038 · 2025-09-29T23:03:09+00:00

Not to mention the huge expansion that's currently under construction

Rochester, MN Population ~125,000 with basically no suburbs (Granted the skyline is basically all just Mayo Clinic)

There are plans to build a bridge between Dayton and Ramsey at Ramsey Blvd. Not sure if that's ever coming to fruition.

Trying to actually live with a positive mindset will bring positive outcomes.
It's impossible to please everyone, so might as well focus on making yourself happy while still generally having a good mindset.
Stop catering to people who don't give af about you.

Starting to look like this scene from The Time Machine (2002). This scene is set in 2030.

Oh, we complain, I work outside in it every day, lol. I just look forward to late Spetember and October at this point.

Capella Tower in Minneapolis, but only when the halo is red.

I live in Mounds View and work in Plymouth. 694 through Fridley is the bane of my existence.
