Mpls is not known as being an urbane place. When I finally left, I feel like a missionary that must preach and inform others about the city I know.
Suburbanites; what about this image does not appeal to you?

Do you mean urban or urbane? Minneapolis is a dull place. While that intersection might look big city, the culture and pulse of Minneapolis is suburban. Where is the freneticism, excitement, subway, melange of retail, dining? Yawn. Yawn. Yawn.

I agree completely with Brian. I lived in Minneapolis (Loring Park) for 3 years and my happiest day was the day I finally moved somewhere else. There is very little activity downtown compared to other cities. Unfortunately, Minneapolis was very effective at destroying its downtown density in the 1960's. Most of the buildings replacing it are large/modern buildings with little 1st floor/sidewalk retail. The skyway system adds to the problem.
I don't expect anyone who likes Minneapolis to understand my concerns. That's why I left.
