I don't know what DC has to offer so its kind of hard to compare the two. But the Twin Cities have a lot to offer. Great parks and lakes in the city. Pretty good live music scene. NFL, NBA, NHL, and (indoor)MLB teams. The traffic in the Twin Cities is probably better than that in DC. Good healthcare available. Lots of new condo devlopment. Canterbury games are soft. Minnesota is a fairly progressive state and has fairly high taxes. No buying liquor on Sundays. Lots of tall blondes. Lots of mosquitoes in the summer. The Twin Cities are kind of off by themselves, Chicago is the closest major city at about a 6 hour drive.

Were there anymore specific things you were looking for in a city?
