I moved to Minnesota from San Diego 5 years ago and it feels like a better decision every single day
Aiming my way there from Ohio within the next year, any recommendations?
Get to know other transplants to Minnesota ahead of time or find a way to meet some once you move. Native Minnesotans are notoriously tough to befriend; many Minnesotans have friend groups that go back to primary school and can be kind of standoffish at first.
Nah, we don't have friends groups that go back to primary school
Wait does that include middle school and highschool too?
And we aren't standoffish! Just don't face us directly if talking, that's rude you ain't a cop. And keep your opinions uncommitted. It's rude to express anything that can give the impression you have a strong opinion or feeling about something. Why are you guys talking so much anyway, there's perfectly good hotdish goin to waste.

Sounds just like Ohio to me.
Maybe, I haven't spent enough time in Ohio to judge but being from Minnesota that is the #1 thing I hear from transplants. There's even been articles written about it.

The cities are cool, and like any major metropolitan area, every neighborhood has its own vibe. Duluth is a REALLY cool city, and totally worth a look. But I ended up in this small, off the freeway, city called Northfield. It's really nice. There are plenty of jobs, lots of services, the rent is okay, and there are two liberal arts colleges here, which means that this tends to be a really progressive area
Northfield is progressive or the whole area? I would think you go 5 minutes in any direction and that sentiment would change.
Northfield is progressive. All around are farms. But it's not all that far from the cities, either.
I'm familiar with Northfield but I'm also familiar with Randolph, Elko/New Market, Farmington and those areas don't scream progressive to me which is why I was curious.
No, they're not. They're all a lot more rural. I don't think many people consider Northfield because it's out of the way and off the freeway (and surrounded by nothing), which is one of the reasons I think it is the way it is hahaha

What’s Minnesota like? I grew up in snow but now reside in the southern heat and I don’t like it.
I like living in MN. Yes, the winters can get long. But during the winter, it's not necessarily snowy all the time. Yes we get storms. But for most of the time, it's too cold to get snow. Mainly sunny days that look nice out, but are actually -20 F - 20 F. Sometimes snow, sometimes gloomy and cold. January average temp is 10 F.
Summer, we do have humidity and heat.
We have more snow and northern, humid heat. Summer average is 80s but peaks over 100 few times a year. So humid you can shower on Monday and still be wet behind the ears come Tuesday. And the mosquito is the state bird.
Snowy
Kinda. It's not snowy in terms of sheer snow fall like the West Coast or the Rockies, but it's cold and once the snow falls, it's there till spring.

Anyone still listening to JRE know what he thinks about it? I wonder if he went full hypocrite at this rate or still has some principles.
he went from weed to horse ROIDS.
That would really piss me off. I hate having reasons to go to Oklahoma.
