I'm not looking for anybody to weigh the above factors for me, I've already done that. Instead, what factors am I missing? Tell me a thing or two about your city I haven't considered that may sway my decision.

Minneapolis has a lot more live theatre and music than you might expect. Lots of small independent theatres and bars that book shows. The cold does not stop anyone.

But, man, it is cold. I know you said that you are interested in factors you have not weighed already, but have you ever been to the Twin Cities in February? Ever experienced a week straight of -20 degrees F?

It's not just the intensity, either, it's the duration. The first snow is usually October. The last one in April.

And it's not as if you are escaping 90 degree heat in the summer. It's hot and humid on the plains in summer.

That said, I enjoyed the Twin Cities. You can have a good time there.
