Amen! As a life-long Minnesotan I can attest to the fact that it’s more like Minnesota POLITE. Minnesotans are friendly to out-of-town visitors because they figure the visitors will be leaving soon. Unfortunately, the “nice” seems to fade when out-of-towners decide to move here. However, I beleive in enacting the “nice” aspect. I married a gal who moved here from Illinois. 🙂
