I'll say Saint Paul feels even more underrated than Minneapolis. I've seen gorgeous Victorian homes there for peanuts. It's also a state capital so wages are high. Yet it seems to live in Minneapolis' perpetual shadow even though it's a proper city in its own right (307,000 people).

I'm going this year for the first time (Minnesota State Fair). Can't wait!
