Travel and Leisure Magazine just released another one of their survey's; this one ranked the "Top 35 Snobbiest Cities in the United States". Minneapolis and St. Paul ranked as the 4th snobbiest in the US only surpassed by: San Francisco at #1; New York at #2; and Boston at #3. Santa Fe, NM and Seattle were tied at 5th place. Los Angeles ranked #16 in this survey.

When I was viewing one of the local morning news programs and they were discussing this story, one of the on-air personalities, of whom I know has worked in several other television markets prior to working in the Twin Cities, said on-camera, finally after six-and-a-half-years one of my neighbors finally waved to me. With that being stated, let the discussion begin.

I don't buy it but we've always lived in areas where people are friendly at minimum or very social with each other. We had new neighbors move in last week. We were the last ones to go an introduce ourselves because we were out of town. We were there on their 3rd day of living in the house, the rest of the neighbors were all there the first day. We've never lived in an area where no one is friendly...

Oh, baby, are we ever that. Makes me a little ill sometimes. Here in Mpls, we seem to attract people to our city government who want to FEED that vice!! I think the city needs seriously to get OVER itself!!!

Exactly. We're awesome. I feel others put us down because it is 'always cold.' To argue that doesn't make us snobby.

RT will want us to be No. 1. No. 4 is never good enough for us.

By the way. How can Minneapolis - St Paul be "a city". I don't think St Paul is snobby at all. But leaders in Minneapolis are always chasing status, prestige. They worship the snob factor.

I can't see why we should settle for #4. We must show more ambition.
