whew yes! agreed. Although Detroit (I don't know about Minnesota) get those "heat waves", our summers are much more comfortable. Part of the reason I left Florida. Being extra hot is more annoying to me. Atleast you can bundle up in the winter lol

75 in the summer is pretty rare here anymore, but that is a fantastic temperature! More like 85-90 in July/August. You're right though, every city has seasons that make people miserable. My parents are in San Francisco now and they complain about the rainy season. They also sometimes don't always love the summer since it can be downright chilly at times during the summer in San Fran but overall they love it there. There is no PERFECT place.....except maybe San Diego

It's actually warmer here than in Detroit, believe it or not. The average July high is 86 degrees.

Wow! didn't know that. All in all though, from my experience so far, I'd say the midwest definitely has good "four-season" weather. I could deal with the winter. It really isn't as bad as people think. I also agree with you parents. Hurricane season is FL is worst than any snow days up here. I'd take the snow over non-stop heavy rain
I like Newark, NJ where as most people would cringe. The Ironbound section is really a special place to me, awesome cuisine/shopping/nightlife- It's a Little Portugal. And I thought where I was living (Close to Branch Brook Park, in Forest hill) was very charming- Beautiful old Victorian mansions, awesome Latin Cuisine, historic high rises. I will admit that Downtown Newark is mediocre, but it does indeed pack a strong punch in the insurance & real estate industry.
There's NJPAC, the Prudential Center, Rutgers, The University of Medicine and Dentistry, Newark Airport, Newark-Elizabeth-NYC Shipping ports, Newark Penn/PATH.. It has a lot for only being under 25 square miles.
Most People see it from the airport/turnpike, which is basically just the scene of the industrial scene of the largest metropolitan area in the nation. Of course it's not going to be pretty, they have no choice but to seclude it all along the highway/airport in a swamp, this whole area is highly developed. Newark really gets no positive hype at all- It has more going for it than most people expect.
It was also #1 in the country in violent crime reduction recently.

I often find myself being more interested in cities that get a negative view more. Ex: I'm more interested in seeing Baltimore than New York. No offense to NY of course.
Yeah I get what you mean. Living in Central Jersey I always enjoyed going to Philly over NYC. NYC is awesome, but Philly just had such a personality about it, I was always drawn back!

Interesting, I've only really seen Newark from the Train Line/Penn Station. I was a little turned off by who/what I saw, but I guess I should give it a chance one of these days. However, it is a bit annoying having multiple people ask me for money by the time I transfer trains, and some of the buildings are in shambles. You won't find anything quiet like Newark when you move to MN Not as much diversity if you will.
