Dog this is a stupid argument. Of course ain't gonna be as many Mexican spots as in San Diego but its still actual Mexicans cooking the food and actual Mexicans eating it. Ain't like they making trash just cause they're in a different city.

hey you like what you like but its still a stupid take . I've got Mexican family members, spent most of the last 10 years in a city thats like half Mexican, ate in Mexico AND San Diego (like 2 months ago in fact) so I'm fairly confident that I've got a decent pallet for at least regular Mexican food and I've had good Mexican food in Minneapolis. But this is the internet where nikkas give dumb opinions and treat them like law

Finding a good Mexican restaurant is pretty ubiquitous nowadays because every town has a good spot. It ain't nothing special in 2019

And I know what's up

The best spots are the ones that are cheap and where the workers don't even speak English.

Sleeper town (Minneapolis)

January is the main month too avoid being here if you’re one of those MiNESOta iS ANtaRtICa type of people.

My vote is a 7. I think it's the 2nd best city in the midwest right behind Chicago. I believe it's on par if not better than Seattle.

Pros

Quality of life
Great place to raise a family
school system k-12 top notch
largest mall in mall of america
Very liberal- the last republican that got voted as President was Nixon in 72.
All 4 sports teams
Great place for the arts(top notch museums and theaters)
Great economy- Best buy, target, United healthcare, general mills all have headquarters here.

Cons
Very white and it feels white
If you see a house with a black lives matters sign, it's a white person
Even some of the black owned business have white people working there.
No black middle class
Downtown is only booming Friday and saturday night. any other night it's a ghost town
Largest gap between blacks and white unemployment
weather- HORRIBLE. Winter can last for 6 months here and im talking single digit or negative temps
women- if you like snow bunnies, you will be in heaven. White girls here look good. Not some fat trailer park woman either. In shape, nice face white women. sistas- not so much. maybe a few gems. but most of the black women here go both ways. But i can't really judge because some brothas might have more success with black women here.
Isolated- Chicago is like a 7 hour drive. No nearby cities. you have to fly everywhere.

My advice- if you're coming from a black city like Atlanta or dc- it's a culture shock. If you're used to cities like Denver, seattle and Portland, you'll love it here. If a company offers you a high paying job to come here, take it.

yeah my family lives up there and they are down with the swirl which it is what it is, leads to some black conservatism towards black issues and maybe some c00ning depending upon who you ask

What's your opinion on the east african population?

 

[Alvin]

Minneaplis sound >
It has that one saving grace
Family lives up there so I visit every so often
It's ok, visited in the summer and it was humid as hell because of all the lakes
City was clean and eclectic
However like most said it was very white, and you can feel it
Passive aggressive white folk
Black people are designated to certain run down areas like most areas of the U.S. but here it seems more noticeable
