Not to mention that Georgia has dozens of very popular tourist attractions. Besides weather, this is another reason why more people choose to live in Georgia over Minnesota. |

BTW -- It was 14 in Atlanta on Sunday morning. As I write this, it's 17 in Minneapolis. Just saying ... ...poor atlanta

Minneapolis is a good city but the winters are too harsh for me.. I would rather take the summer heat and humidity of Atlanta.. Besides Atlanta on a metro area level is bigger and has more to offer than Minneapolis IMHO..

Actually, I should have voted "Minnesota with Atlanta weather" - no way could I handle that cold weather....

According to the New York Times, 72% of those born in Minnesota still live there, the number for Georgia is 75%. For a point of comparison the number for California is 75%, for New York it is 61%. I think sometimes we overestimate how mobile Americans are. Most don't move, moving is more common among the professional classes or those who are ambitious but grew up in dysfunctional places. //www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...were-born.html Was your friend from the Twin Cities or out state MN? What she said is pretty much true of all of rural America outside of the south, it isn't unique to Minnesota. It is nearly impossible to not know any black people if you live in the Twin Cities today. Last edited by Drewcifer; 01-10-2017 at 04:20 PM..
