Which City in Minnesota is Best For You?

You love cities; you love all the things to do and the people you can meet. You enjoy being able to pick up a phone and order a pizza. You love big and bustle, things to do and places to go. You like that no matter what you interests are, you can always find someone else who shares them in a city the size of Minneapolis. You'd enjoy spending your leisure days at the museum of Russian art or watching intense, edge-of-you-seat basketball games at the Williams Arena. You'd know the city streets like the back of your hand. You'd know the fastest way to get across town and where there are nooks and crannies still undiscovered by tourists.

You love special events and big occasions. You create countdowns and know the exact number of days until the next big thing you're looking for to. You get excited for Christmas as soon as November hits, and love birthdays, yours and other peoples. In Saint Paul, every winter you'd have the Saint Paul Winter Carnival to get excited about, where you can enjoy ice sculptures and the ice palace as you tuck into some delectable winter food. There are operas and touring Broadway shows, the nearby Minnesota State Fair and the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. You will always have something exciting to look forward to here. Have fun!

You enjoy a nice walk in the park on a Sunday afternoon. The outdoor calls to you frequently and you always answer. You hate being cooped up indoors for very long. You enjoy the wild and peace of the great outdoors. You will love the countless parks and beautiful spots that abound in Duluth and the breathtaking views of Lake Superior. Your soul will soar as you watch birds wing their way across the beautiful lake glistening in the sun. But when night falls you still love a trip to Grandma's Restaurant, the most famous in Duluth and chock full of history and atmosphere. There is a small-town feel here that welcomes you as if you've always belonged.

You love music. Music speaks to your soul and inspires you in whatever artistic endeavors you wish to pursue. Music talks to you in a way nothing else does. It lifts you up, it takes you higher then you've ever been before. In Rochester you can stroll down to Mayo Park on a Sunday evening in the summer, and enjoy a live (and free) outdoor concert as the crickets chirp along to the tunes, or listen to the music of the Rochester Symphony Orchestra and Chorale. With all the beautiful scenery in Minnesota, your art will thrive in this city that encourages the expression of the human spirit.

You like socializing and meeting new people. You enjoy always having a plan for tomorrow, knowing when and what you're going to do. You think ahead and always have ideas for your future. You're very active and have lots of energy. You'll thrive in St. Cloud, enjoying all the activities that a college town has to offer, including sporting events and school plays, getting to know the students and their families, as well as the communities of shops and storekeepers that have built up around the university. On the weekends, you'll visit the Beaver Islands, a group of islands along a river, which have been preserved for canoeing and are perfect for staying in shape while enjoying a beautiful view.

You like the country and the close friendships that can spring up from living in a town of 200 people. You like animals and enjoy watching nature. Which is why this little village, that has been fondly nicknamed the Goose Capitol of the USA (with its scores and scores of Canadian Geese that flock here in the fall and spring) would make you so happy. You can bird watch at the Lac Qui Parle State Park, and enjoy the process of becoming one of the locals. You can go to bed early and rise with the sun. Have a cup of coffee as the day slowly crawls awake and watch the geese fly overhead. It is obvious Watson is the place for you, in fact one might almost say that fact was elementary my dear Watson!
