You've never heard of that?

even Slug says so "I'm not big on actors, rappers and models, but if I had to skip I'd probably dip to Chicago"

Midwestern ties, close in distance, it's not that shocking that many people from Minneapolis look at Chicago as a counterpart, but just a bigger, more cosmopolitian counterpart.

And it's quite the phenomenon that's happening now, many Chicagoians are moving to MPLS.

Even Minneapolis PD called for Chicago PD's help in cracking down on the crime/gang activity.

And not to mention Mobster Al Capone had ties to St. Paul and Minnesota.

And I've been to Chicago about 25 times and each time I meet somebody from the Twin Cities on vacation or somebody that was from the Twin Cities that now live in Chicago.

It's not that big of a stretch.
