Minnesota staff writer for Only in Your State and owner of Minnesota blog NorthGuide.co, I'm a Minneapolis transplant who loves my cats, camera, and local coffee. On the weekends I'm usually exploring the North Shore or making my way through the list of Minnesota's State Parks. Want to talk about MN or ask me a question? Tweet me @sotafiedjo!
Minnesota turns 158 today and, in honor of our statehood, we’re sharing our top 13 reasons why MN is the best state in the nation.
1. Our beautiful land. Minnesota has more stunning scenery than you can even imagine. It is as magical a place as any on Earth, and we love each waterfall, river, lake, mountain and field dearly.
3. Our cities are spectacular and clean. Sure, they aren't the biggest cities in the US, but that's what makes them so special. We love their culture and how even with large populations, they feel small.
4. MN businesses are amazing. We have some of the world's best Fortune 500s, and some of the best small businesses, too. And their innovation knows no bounds.
8. Our arts community is thriving, and we all appreciate local theater and music. In fact, our state has turned out top-notch talent time and time again. And all of our art displays are beautiful and unique. Especially our sculptures. We have 4 beautiful sculpture gardens, and even more displays.
