Minnesota is an enjoyable place to be. People seem to live pretty well here. There is a lot of jobs to go around, if you keep yourself marketable. At least for me, given that I work in marketing and IT. The cold weather is a big factor here though. With it comes seasonal depression. Especially during this month, as the sun sets by 5 pm throughout December (even earlier). It can be difficult, and when it gets super cold in January and February, you just don't want to do anything. I talk to many immigrants, and they say that their mood has changed since moving up here from countries that are more to the south. The north shore of Lake Superior is awesome. It's almost like an ocean in the middle of the continent. The state has done well too by maintaining the pristine ambiance up there and keeping the big box retailers from sucking out the family run shops. Many of my in-laws from NYC are surprised when they come visit and we go into Minneapolis. Sometimes they call it "the mini-Apple" since it seems like a smaller New York City in some ways.
