nah that sounds about right.  i'm in cleveland and we have awful, awful winters but arguably worse summers because it's like 90-100 degrees and humid as shit.  it's basically only temperate for about two weeks a year, so i wouldn't be surprised if minnesota was the same way, because i've heard the climates are fairly similar!

The entire state is pretty much engulfed by Lake Michigan and it's a really large state although it's square-like size tricks the eye.
it doesn't touch lake michigan, and only part of it is on lake superior

man I'm getting all kinds of gay excited for this. this is the furthest I'll be away from anyone ever.

WITHOUT A NET!!!

but yeah do you guys know anymore, like food, music (the hiphop scene is like heiruspecs etc right? BACKPACKheh that stuff), general shit to see? I'll have to go check it out before the school year starts and I'd like to have a good idea of the stuff around it.

maaaaan I am way gay for this. that Gehry art museum is awesome too.

I think our definitions of humid as shit may differ, as I was raised below sea level.

yeah if you go to U of M get used to every other person having a swedish/norwegian/finnish last name

also you will find that they talk way differently than what you're surrounded with in NC. My dad went to U of M in the 70s and many people assumed he was from Tennessee or Georgia because of the way that he talked. He was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and never lived anywhere else. Sooooo just get ready for a bit of a lingual jistle-jostle when you arrive lol

also Garrison Keillor is awesome listen to Prairie Home Companion

and uhh find some episodes of Red/Green or something

also guys with the shoreline figure you have to consider that Minnesota has like 5 bajillion lakes (lakes have shorelines loller)

Horrible highway system and lots of suburbs near the city. I dunno it's a good state if you like running because everything is real pretty. The Twin Cities are exciting and similar to Chicago in ways just a little smaller. It's really not that bad during the winters in the Southern/Central part of the state (where people are) I think people just like to think they are tougher. If you like camping and stuff like that you can get somewhere decent with hiking and shit fairly quickly (less than an hour from the cities), but the city has always got shit going on and like you already said the Hiphop is there. If you like Bob Dylan there's some shit for him and Frank Loyd Wright too

Also I don't know what you mean about food, if you mean state distinctive there's a food festival during the summer, and people like fish (not me) but for the most part it's like any other state with a major city.

Edit: Brown is Minnesotan? Also someone lives up North but I forgot who Puppet Master maybe?

Edit: never mind I see
