Default Mpls rated in top 5

Here's another thing to consider:
Men's Health Magazine ranked the top cities to live in and find love in the US. Mpls ranked number TWO--only one other (out of 101) ranked higher!

Top five:
1. San Francosco, CA
2. Minneapolis, MN
3. San Jose, CA
4. Arlington, TX
5. Raleigh, NC

St Paul was somewhere in the top ten.

They considered things such as:
•ratio of men to women (not all those men are straight!)
•percentage of people divorced (means they can't commit, which was a negative factor)
•physical shape of suitors
•willingness to give to charity (more likely to spend money on fun things too)
•percentage of college grads (brain and buff, they say)
•availability of chemistry-building activities

Pretty sure that article was for "woman" to find love. And also you are wrong about my reason for suggesting that Scranton move to Detroit. In an earlier thread on a Michigan board, he had made a comment that just like his little scranton had turned around, so could Detroit. His reasoning being that all it takes is for a few people to start fixing up houses in a neighborhood and it would "spark the revitalization" This just showed his ignorance of the problems that Detroit has. To compare a city that once had 2 million people and now has around 800.000 to his scranton is utterly ridiculous. Sometimes I get a little bit angry when people talk about something that they know nothing about. By the way I would have suggested that he move to Ferndale, if I had a different motive.

If you hate Detroit so much and think that people can't make a difference through hope and elbow grease, then why don't you relocate to a greener pasture, as I tell the "Scranton Sucks" crowd? By the way, I don't know why my sexual orientation was being thrown into the fray here, but I really don't appreciate it. I only mentioned it to avoid moving to some sort of "Klan Haven" town, if you catch my drift.

Scranton. Like I said. You really can't speak about Detroit. It's nothing like you are used too. I did move, I live in Minneapolis now. I love it, you probably would too. I live in uptown, it is a nice area lots of stuff to do. There are quite a few bars, a ton of restauraunts and a lot of boutique type stores, as well as several grocery stores and such. There are nearby lakes that you can walk to in minutes, yesterday it was over 60 degrees, and there were literally hundreds of people running and walking around lake calhoun. There are also many running, walking and biking trails in the neighborhood. There are always people out and about on the streets, walking or biking here and there. If you choose Minneapolis, look in to uptown.

I wonder if the poster wasn't referring to Detroit Lakes, MN? Which is about 225 miles NW of Minneapolis.
