We are truly blessed to live in one of the most amazing states. Unfortunately for some that move away, it can mean that no place can ever quite live up to MN! From our specular views to our friendly culture, here’s why living in Minnesota ruins you for life.
1. Lakes Everywhere!
Life just isn't quite the same when you know there isn't always a lake within spitting distance. There's something weirdly... dry about most of the other states.
2. Stunning Scenery
We've already established that rural MN is the most beautiful place to live!
3. Amazing Healthcare
It's hard to feel completely safe when you aren't surrounded by some of the world's best doctors (or they're just a few hours away).
4. Music/Theater/Art Scene
Minnesota has a thriving music scene and an amazing local arts community. From concerts to plays to sculpture you can find all of it in large doses here, and often a lot cheaper than you could possibly hope for on the coasts.
5. The State Fair
There's not really any explanation needed for this. If you've left MN you've probably considered flying back for this. It's truly one of a kind.
6. Our Wonderful Cities
Much cleaner and more beautiful than any others in the United States.
7. Four incredible seasons.
We have 4 stunningly beautiful seasons each year. Sure, winters are cold, but that's what allows us to have some of the most unique and gorgeous scenery around.
8. Even the winter has benefits.
We learn to be Minnesotough and that gets us through a lot of obstacles. We also help each other out.
9. Our stunning state parks.
Minnesota has so many amazing state parks and public lands and they're all so much fun to visit! Can you imagine not being able to see the sweeping prairies, wildflowers, forests, and waterfalls on a regular basis?
10. And along with the parks, beautiful wildlife.
Because we take such good care of the land, we are treated to regular sightings of animals of all kinds - and it's pretty phenomenal! You can't see these guys everyday in other places.
11. Miracles Happen
As we all celebrated once again earlier in the week. growing up in MN taught us all miracles can happen - and we just can't live anywhere that won't accept that.
12. And finally, because the only thing that beats a Minnesota sunrise...
13. Is a Minnesota sunset.
How spectacular are these views?
