So, would you rather live in the 21st Century with "Minnesota Nice" progressives, or live in a 14th Century, Dark Ages theocracy?

With the possible exception of Austin, I couldn't imagine any morally-decent person wanting to live in Texas.

Oh, Lord...........

LOL, I know, I just thought it was ironic. I'm sure you can see Dallas further away. For one, Minneapolis is hilly in spots because of the river banks, so it's tough to see over those hills on the other side of those banks. Dallas is pretty flat, from what I see/hear.

It's not completely flat. In Southern Dallas County it's really hilly.

A city has to be flat to see the skyline from 30 miles away...

It is, but the only hilly part is Southern Dallas County.

Um. Have you seen the MPLS skyline in the 1980s?

Capella Tower and Wells Fargo Center were built in 1992 and 1988 respectively.

Have you seen pics of Dallas in the 70s and 80s?

Hey, I'm not the one who said that Dallas' skyline was built when their population was way higher.

You said "Well yeah, but their population in MPLS over 500,000 when their skyline was built"

Sorry buddy, but much of MPLS' skyline has gone up after 1990, When population #s are similar to now.

So... yeah.. back to my point... still a pretty impressive skyline for a city of less than 400,000 people

I didn't say that.

We started to build our skyline in the 50s.

^ ok?

Even though the skyline MPLS has now was pretty much built from 1990 - now. and the population has never gone over 390,000 people in that time frame.
