I can't speak for the cities listed other than Minneapolis.
I can say that on more than a handful occasions while visiting various cities around the US, I've been asked if I was from Canada. Even in Mexico we met people from Oklahoma who thought we were Canadian. It undoubtably is the accent. Maybe the fair skin in the winter.
Sometimes, after those people find out I'm from Minnesota, they'll say something like "Ohh Minnesotan, eh?"
Minnesotans don't say "eh" like or as much as Canadians. And I don't say aboooot either.
It also reminds me of a story that a local radio personality shares:
While in Florida with friends on a golf trip, the radio personality from MN was paired with another guy from Toronto, something like "Hey you, team up with him because you're from the same place"...Toronto and Minneapolis aren't the same place.
Kind of funny.... I like it. Minnesota borders Manitoba and Ontario and shares a lot of geographical, climatic and social similarities with Canada, eh.
