I personally like Minneapolis a lot, but then I'm from Kansas
originally, so the culture (and the cold weather) is pretty familiar.
 I was just thinking about the weather adjustment, based on my SO's
reaction to Chicago, having come from Edmonton.  I couldn't believe
the first time he complained about the winters; how could Chicago
possibly be worse than Edmonton?!?  However, he wasn't used to the
comparatively high humidity, which bothered him much more than temps
and snow.  

Thinking about the relatively moderate climate in London, I thought it
might be a bit of an adjustment to get used to large amounts of snow
and sub-zero temps.  

At any rate, I can fully see that Minneapolis could be a very
intellectually stimulating community with the educational institutions
and the vibrant arts community.  

akh, who realizes that she may have sounded disparaging of
Minneapolis, but couldn't possibly dislike the home of the largest
shopping mall in the United States! <g>
