Detroit would only be number 2 and not number 3 a good 50 years ago. Come on... the lakes, mall of america, the low crime, the diversity, universities, and hot women everywhere mnpls is badass in ways that detroit just can't compete with!
Really what does detroit have going for it? Its the least diverse, most segregated, poorest big city with the highest crime rate in the nation. Its a has been in every sense of the expression and isn't gonna make a come back any time soon.
Detroit is Ali in the 80s and its round 14. Mnpls is a young, hungry whipper snapper on the come up.
THE GOLD CHAIN AND MULLET HAVE SPOKEN
Detroit has the best old architecture by far. That's something.
One of the schools in Northfield. Not going to say specifics, you can figure it out.
Exactly. Had you gone to college at the University of Minnesota, St. Thomas, Hamline, or any of the others in the Twin Cities and not in a small town in rural southern Minnesota, then maybe your observations and opinions about Minneapolis would be valid for something. But you didn't, and thus, everything you have said so far about Minneapolis's character, which you have probably only slightly experienced several times while visiting, is completely meaningless. What you are describing makes sense considering you went to school for 4 years in a small farm town.
Are you saying there aren't as many hot women in Detroit? Since Detroit metro is almost twice the size of Minneapolis metro I'd argue Detroit probably has more.
Detroit does have hot women, but 89% of them are black and from detroit. Mnpls has tons of hot women of every single race and background from all over the entire world. Also most of them are well educated and in great shape. 30% of women in detroit are unemployed and 40% live in below the poverty line, many are single mothers. I'm not denying that there are not hot women in detroit but it cantneven begin to compare with what mnlps has to offer unless extremely poor black women who live in extremely violent and dangerous neighborhoods raising multiple children themselves, struggling hard just to survive is a fetish of yours than really the only place better than detroit for you as far as the dating scene is concerned is probably south sudan. ThE GOLD CHAIN AND MULLET HAVE SPOKEN
Combine St. Louis' economic power along with the city's cultural institutions, and it's not really a question.

I am rather fascinated to know what happened to St. Louis in Cleverfield's reasoning as it seems to be completely absent, and lists I see tend to most commonly go like this...
1. Chicago
2/3. MSP/Detroit
4. St. Louis
5. Cleveland
6. Cincy
7. KC
etc.

With more and more arguing the lower you go.
I've never been to St. Louis, and honestly don't know that much about it, so I can't really comment on it.
Minneapolis (and Columbus, and Indianapolis, and to some extent Chicago) grew with the influx of people who were not city dwellers by nature. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and the Mid-atlantic cities grew from the immigration of city dwellers.
You are demonstrating a remarkable misunderstanding of the demographics of late 19th and early 20th century European emigration...
Definitely MSP. Detroit is last century and is dying a slow protracted death.
