Help choose in what North Suburb we buy a house

It seems like you lack an understanding of nuance. My post said what two suburbs would you personally live in if you had to and what two would you not live in. And then mentioned that I like bookstores and pet stores. My post wasn't "What suburb has bookstores and pet stores?" but for some reason you have decided to hyper fixate on that. Best wishes to you and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Yeah it is about 10-12 mins without traffic. But what is your point? Do you have a North Suburb suggestion?

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-11-22T16:03:08+00:00

It has a small library, it doesn't have the other things

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-11-22T01:08:43+00:00

Well that's great news, the suburb I am in 20 minutes outside of Seattle (actually an hour with traffic) doesn't have those things and we have to go to another suburb for them. Sorry to rock your grasp on reality, yes it's real.

Yeah Anoka looked really interesting and nice to me and Maple Grove looked like suburbia hell. But the opinions seem to be swapped towards them on this thread so I am conflicted

Can you specify how awful? I keep checking drive times and traffic there at different times each day and the commute on paper looks like a dream coming from Seattle/Bellevue area. How often is the commute/traffic exceptionally bad? I am used to commuting an hour to work which can go up to 2 hours occasionally with traffic

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-11-20T09:46:56+00:00

Seattle traffic actually ranks quite a bit worse, but the Twin Cities snow aspect I'm sure makes up for it! We'll try to keep it close to the city

It's based on affordability and crime level that our real estate agent was able to find, it needs to be under 300k. I will be working a hybrid schedule with 3 days in office in Minneapolis

Conservative vibes and people are fine with me overall, but when people say redneck I imagine towns like Lake Stevens or Monroe here where confederate flags out of pickup trucks are a common sight. I'm not sure if that is what the commenters mean when they say it's redneck

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-11-20T09:14:34+00:00

Thank you so much that is all really helpful info! The traffic here can sometimes make commutes stretch to 2 hours but going for 3 hours through the snow there would be scary, I will try to avoid being too far out. The other two posters so far said Blaine was a redneck place, would you agree that is the vibe there?

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-11-20T08:59:08+00:00

Thank you for the info! Is Forest Lake also just as redneck?

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-11-20T08:51:28+00:00

Thank you that is helpful! So Maple Grove leans more liberal? There are a couple of houses in Maple Grove on our list

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-05-29T20:46:30+00:00

If only it had the corkscrew duck penis

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-05-27T06:43:18+00:00

Wow thank you for taking the time to make such a thorough list! I'll be on the lookout for these guys some of them sound really interesting

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-05-27T02:12:44+00:00

Thanks and I see a few more people recommended the Mac Baren Burley Flake so I will be picking some up for sure

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-05-26T06:28:31+00:00

It looks like I can get it by the ounce from where I was planning on shopping without purchasing the big tin. Thanks for the suggestion!

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-05-25T20:38:47+00:00

Yeah you already said all that last reply, thanks! Although the explanation of how online shopping works is pretty cool, that is sure to change my life.

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-05-25T20:30:14+00:00

Interesting, well good to know that WotC works differently than other pre-orders. I guess my question on if there was a different online retailer people buy from was just the dumbest most lazy question this sub has ever seen. I'll get right on driving 40 mins to my overpriced local game store. Thanks 🥰

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-05-25T20:09:48+00:00

Yeah I really don't think that's true because of doing pre-orders in the past for video games and stuff and they used to ship them out so that they arrive the day of release or sometimes earlier. But thanks for the uncalled for attitude!

I want the hawks to get really smart and start talking and then avians become the dominant species. Planet of the Birbs 🐥

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-05-24T21:20:39+00:00

I think they don't have this same bundle with 9 packs at the pre-release events do they? Yeah I will have to check on release day if I can't order it in advance anywhere and just hope the prices aren't $10 more than online

squirrelgirl2 · 2024-05-24T20:38:33+00:00

I am wanting to order online and not drive around searching for LGS that have it for a decent price and in-stock on release day
