After growing up and attending college in Duluth, Minnesota, I reluctantly relocated to the Twin Cities in 2009. Yes, there were better employment opportunities, but there was also rush hour traffic, hotter summers, and I couldn’t figure out how to get anywhere. Since then, my sense of direction has improved, although I still don’t like hot weather or rush hour. But I have fallen in love with everything that the Twin Cities metro has to offer (especially the ice cream).
