Re: [MMouse]: EXCITING PLACES
and living in uptown i have found it to be one of the most vegan friendly places i have ever been to. more than i ever would have imagined. michael you forgot to mention renters rebate. i'm getting $509 back for being a renterpretty cool ! yeah rent is pretty average up there. i think our rent was $500/month for a two bedroom and my mom was the caretaker. the kinda crappy thing tho was that we lived on the crosstown which isn't the safest neighborhood in minneapolis but it was one of the nicer apartments near bosson terrace so oh well! i'm not surprised it's vegan-friendly. my mom's friends were really ecclectic people and some of them were vegans..my mom worked at this big book warehouse place and her and her ecclectic friends would all go to this vegan restaurant right down the street :P pretty nice.. in response to this thingie: Right. For one, you're mostly talking about St. Paul. I don't mean to be picky, but Minneapolis and St. Paul have completely different atmospheres. you're right. st. paul has always seemed more aged than minneapolis, cozier, and certainly more industrial...still tho, they're twin cities and you know everyone from minneapolis goes to the state fair and winter festivals and what not so let's not be TOO picky ;) For two, they don't build the ice castle every year. In fact, they haven't come close to building a huge one in years. SINCE WHEN? i don't ever recall a time during the winter when it wasn't upbut my imagination is fuzzy and i haven't lived there in three and a half years. And I really don't want everyone to think that all Minnesotans sit around and look at ice all winter. they don't? i feel like an ass. that's all i ever did. I would completely disagree about the State Fair too. It's disgusting and there are so many better things you could be doing on one of our ten thousand lakes or at a great concert. i lived in a central location near most of the lakes in minneapolis..or at least close enough so that i'd rather spend one day of the year at the state fair, ya know? i mean it's hot, it's disgusting, but it's fun and i love that kinda stuff. concerts are nice and all but you can always go to a concert throughout the year. i'm sorta old fashioned, sorry. - amy, who thinks if you lived away from such a wonderful place for so long you'd be over exaggerating its wonderfulness too ;) (please note i may feel this way because i moved from a metropolitan area to a population of 3600 people. heh.)

hey, on the subject of exciting places, MAINE is the least exciting place on earth...but the thing is..its still a really great place. its really safe and pleasent here..and there are a lot of rednecks here but they are almost amusing rednecks..not the typical scary bigot types or the scary DELIVERANCE types but just idiotic human beings that leave you alone. im mostly posting this asking if anyone on here has ever had the oppertunity to enjoy the MAINE experience? its the way life should you know.. -andrew
Re: [MMouse]: EXCITING PLACES
being a fellow new englander i love maine and i know what youre talking about when you mention the backwoods rednecks that arent really as bad as redneck rednecks. my small town in new hamsphire is just like that. lots of inbreeding and whatnot but no one is really downright violent or activist redneck. i like maine. its a nice place to be. very scenic. plus they have fun park in saco. and a newbury comics in portland. russ

Re: [MMouse]: EXCITING PLACES
recently i got a job for the airlines so i know this one there is a portland maine *jesse*
Re: [MMouse]: EXCITING PLACES
Is there a Portland, Maine? I always thought it was in Oregon... yeah there's a portland, maine. portland oregon is a metropolitan area as you know i'm sure (i don't wanna sound condescending, sorry, i'm not trying to be :P) and i think portland, maine is moderately large as well...but not quite metropolitan size. they're both kinda water cities tho so it doesn't surprise me. i dunno if either are really close to the shores or anything but...they're in water states anyway ;) - amy
Re: [MMouse]: EXCITING PLACES
minneapolis is pretty cool. That Dog sings about it and Briana lives here.what could be better. michael yes minneapolis is splendid! i've always mentioned this whenever someone starts a thread about itbut now i can give some reasons why. during the winter - during the winter there's all this fun stuff to do. there has never been a christmas like a minnesota christmas. us fine scandanavian folks enjoy the ice castle which iswell...pretty fucking huge and costs millions of dollars to build each year. they put these beautiful pastel lights up against the ice and it gleams with a rainbowesque glow. i used to stand in the large crowd in awe at it wishing i could go inside and pretending what it'd be like. i'm such a dreamer :P we also have these ice sculpture contests near the capital (ok this stuff is in st. paul technically but it's all the same ;)) where these sculpture artists work on different figures and i think they're the only people in all of minneapolis who hope that it doesn't get warm. we also have these sweet sled type things where you can go down this really steep hill thing on a slide thingie and oh it's just fun and not quite the same as sledding in a park. i can't explain it but if you saw it you'd see why. we also have red and black vulcans who come up and kiss you at random. we're also home to the most awesome christmas parade ever which basically runs down where nicolet mall is. i love nicolet mall. i swear we're home of the most skyways in the world but i'm probably bullshitting then ;) we do have lots of skyways tho. OH AND DAYTONS! they turned the top floor of the old daytons into this neat thing where at christmas time you can see all these neat light shows and stuff..you walk through them. late summer - two words: STATE FAIR :P we were one of the first state fairs that sampled off "dots," the little bubble ice cream things. we also have that huge slide that you can go down and the butter statues that you can view from the dairy building. point being: if you wanna go to an awesome college and an awesome city..MINNEAPOLIS IS FOR YOU :P - amy
