I don't hate Chicago. At all. I actually really like it. But Chicago isn't Minneapolis. It isn't even Pittsburgh.
Fuck Minneapolis. I'll be posting my 19-year review in a few days upon permanently checking out awdood;

It's 75% pretentious or conservative-values niggers. a hipster cesspool, even nationally known as such. there's nothing to fucking do. no soul or good vibes going, just generic looking shit everywhere, goddamn river-themed minneapolis style condo buildings. hopeless sports teams. about 3 good ethnic restaurants, maybe 10 good cheap restaurants total. and there's about 2 enjoyable months out of the year, the rest are too cold or too hot to even consider doing anything outside. it just feels small to me, like there's never anything happening because everyone does the same goddamn thing every day.
but again you can read my full review shortly n_u

I disagree with most of this....I don't know whether to respond to each thing individually or just not bother.

Do you think this has mostly to do with Wayzata/BSM/Dinkytown? Though I will concede that there are all too many snowmobile-driving cocks from Blaine and crazy hippie lol women from Kenwood.

I disagree with this a lot. Do you mean like huge music and celeb events or warehouse raves? Because then I guess, but as far as actual things to just go do I was never short.

Not sure exactly what you are looking for here, but this is probably another Wayzata/Dinkytown thing. I feel like if you get to know the city, you would know.

Okay, now that's just bullshit. You're being a pessimist who's upset about other things and is looking to push it around? I don't understand how you can think that...

When you move to LA things will be awesome and a whirlwind for 2, maybe 6 months. Maybe you'll feel more active there on a daily basis. You were probably so bored here because you didn't go to school or have a regular job. Sounds pretty boring to me.
fuck you i'm stuck in texas

um I never spent any time in Wayzata or with BSM people, yeah they're some of the worst of the worst but I was referring to Minneapolis culture in general. It's either yuppie fucks who think they're all that or republicans with boats. This is not unique to Minnesota, there's just not enough alternative culture to feel like it's not 95% of people. I mean who have YOU been around in Minneapolis? white people? akudood;
No I'm not talking about warehouse raves and celebrity events (lol). Minneapolis has nice parks, but I have already spent infinity time bumming around in all of them. In terms of going to random unseen places to observe the culture there and just feel like you're walking around in some kind of active world, there is nothing out of the ordinary. NOTHING
uh no the only vibe in minneapolis is suburban denial and stillness, a lot of people who don't want to go anywhere, or else people who can't wait to leave. there is, objectively, never anything exciting happening.
uhhhh LA
definitely has a more unique look than Minneapolis, it looks like LA. A lot of stupid shit, sure, but I'm not moving there for the architecture. I was talking about this:
(http://www.postlets.com/create/photos/20100301/202916_471238_1200.jpg)
I don't know enough about it to know the name of the style, I'm sure you do. It's everywhere, it all looks the same, and I hate it.
Yes one of the ones I was counting is La Poblanita on East Lake. I'm speaking specifically of actual awesome hole-in-the-wall places, not chic greek and bolivian bistros... Central Ave in NE has the best concentration but still miserable.
December - March are too cold to do anything outside, and June - August are too hot. I don't count spring because it also sucks to be outside. So that leaves September - November, which are always my favorite months in MN. 3/12 months
No I'll feel exactly the same on a day-to-day basis in LA, you're right, I'll just have the comfort of knowing that the sea is a half-mile away and there's a country's worth of culture accessible in a 20 minute drive. If I hear about some random event, concert, speaker, whatever, there's a 30% chance I will be able to attend it personally (because it will be in the LA area, if that was unclear). Minneapolis has probably 45,000 real people in it, LA has one million. It'll be a lot easier to make friends.
And uh I think I'd have had less time to experience the city I lived in if I had spent half of every day on a college campus or at some worthless job? doodthing; I've been around the twin cities, and at least seen every damn part of them. The midwest in general is just too generic, omaha to minneapolis to des moines there's no difference. just fucking white people walling up in suburbs to avoid the rest of their lives. I want to get on with living with some other folks who want to make things happen.
oh also did I mention that pot isn't legal in MN?
What exactly do you like about Minneapolis? It's not my least favorite place ever, by a longshot (I'd be happy to come back occasionally), but I don't consider it someplace I'd like to live for an extended period of time, at all.
Either you are choosing to ignore wide swathes of both Minneapolis and my life, or you don't know shit about either. Maybe you're just not opening up your eyes.
I guess if you want to blame unhappiness on Minnesota, you're welcome to, but I really doubt that's where it stems from.

you've clearly never been to LA if you think things look just as generic there as they do here. it's completely made up of unique neighborhoods

the fuck, I'm not saying anything personal? doodhuh; I've had the time of my life in Minneapolis, I just feel like I've seen all there is to be seen and I'm ready for bigger places and new people. I wasn't blaming anything on the place I lived, just pointing out what I thought about it
criss-crossing the country from West Virginia to San Francisco has certainly widened my vision, I'm not sure what aspiring to be like everyone else living their settled-down midwestern life has done for yours.
You guys are right. You're both infinitely cooler than I am and have a much better understanding of the world. I suppose I should just give up, start watching HBO, and move to Robbinsdale.
I'm not just some trendy goon who wants to move to LA with his hot gf to make it big, you know, I don't care about shiny pop culture shit or being where 'it's happening' or the lives of the rich and famous (it's the same shit here and there, I know that), I just want some nice weather and tacos on the corner and a dog and maybe surf a little, is that too much to ask :(
no tacos in minneapolis :(
Sounds like Snorkel hates 85% of the US n_u
And Minnesota sports teams are actually pretty good minus the Timberwolves and Gophers... The Wild, Twins, and Vikings are usually in playoff contention

yes I hate everyone that lives in suburbs
I don't think anyone has expected the wild, twins, or vikings to make the playoofs in many a season, gophers are probably the best. not that I care.
The Twins were in the playoffs last season and the Vikings went to the NFC Championship game the year before. I have seen my favorite baseball team in the playoffs once in my entire life. I've never seen my favorite NFL team get past the first round of the playoffs. I overestimated the Wild.
And last but not least, the Gophers suck. Especially at football. They're ok at hockey and basketball, but still... FUCK THE GOPHERS
I've never been to Minneapolis but I think LA would probably be more fun. I have been to LA. However, I would rather live in SF or Oakland or even San Rafael than LA.
I have a dear, dear friend from Minneapolis she's special but she's in Phoenix now.

///,
There are at least muy psilocybe mexicana & California budz and a lot of delicious Mexican food. A lot of ugly stucco monsters but some nice pockets of Phoenix exist and a Wright masterpiece in Arcadia.
I still like my tiny(er) midwest college town(city) with its marquee theatres and local music where you know the lead singer's name and the fact that I can spend a short time in the car and be in the woods or at the beach. I'm not sure I'd have any real desire to live in the middle of a bigger city.
