You know very little about Minneapolis but that hasn't made you unobjective or biased, just ill-informed.

I fixed that for you. (Sadly, no strike-through available).

I don't care what anybody says. The canned tomatoes they put on your pizza at Dominoes in Minneapolis are better than the canned tomatoes Dominoes uses in Cleveland.

No, I do know about Cleveland's downtown. I haven't visited there in a long time. The people I know there live out in the 'burbs.

"I know about Cleveland, but I haven't been there in a long time, and I don't know anybody who actually lives in the city itself".

If anything we sound more like people from Buffalo or Rochester than people from Chicaahhgo, Wisgonsin, or Minnesooooota.
Yes I have been visiting Cleveland on a regular basis for over 20 years. Cleveland has East Coast connections. So do all Midwestern cities. If you think Cleveland has more in common with New York than Detroit or Chicago you must be smoking some serious cannabis. This is 2014, not 1814.

you can have cultural attractions.



Top 5 Urban areas in the Midwest ranking in my opinion.

Chicago
-
-
Detroit
-
Twin Cities
St. Louis
Cleveland.

Point im trying to make - we are no way rubbing shoulders with Chicago... Twin Cities is better than Cleveland but not by that much.
I'll drag out that old "most theatres per capita after NYC" re: culture.

Replace the word Cleveland with Minneapolis and you have a very accurate self portrait.

I believe your two favorite movies are Taxi Driver and The Way We Were
Close but no cigar. If those two films had been set in Cleveland, they would have been my favorites. I'll leave it to other posters to determine whether this is sincere or simply empathy for our clever friend. LOL. Well, at least he and I agreed about two movies if not much else. Many other posters have been providing solid and indisputable information in recent posts that he is struggling to counter. I am still unable to rep you.

Look, we're not obsessed with comparing ourselves to other cities like you guys are. We already know that we have some of the best culture in the United States, and most people who know anything about culture recognize that. We don't need a click-bait ranking list to validate that. Also, as far as parks we have a 20,000 acre metropark system that anyone who has visited will recognize as one of the best anywhere, PLUS a true National Park (the closest of which to Minneapolis is hundreds of miles away). Also, did I mention we have (here's a ranking for you) the 10th largest lake in the world at our doorstep? Land of 10,000 lakes? Our 1 great lake is more than double the size of all of Minnesota's lakes combined (not including Lake Superior of course). Haha, you guys think your city is so great because some random magazine ranked your stuff #3 or #2 in the country. Guess what... nobody really cares.
Sorry dude but I've got friends from Cleveland in Los Angeles and Minneapolis and...no, you guys ain't all that or anywhere near it. Housing IS cheaper there though so you got that going for you...
