Moved up here in May after living in Ames and there are definitely things I miss. People not being totally awful drivers would be a start.
You got a lot of hate in you to work thru, it seems. I suppose you're right, though, a 9/11 thruther is definitely the less crazy one.
Minnesota people are strangely infatuated with their state. It's a nice place, sure. I've just never heard people from any other state so consistently mention how awesome their state is.
As for Iowa. Admittedly, I do think most of the state outside Des Moines, Ames and Iowa City is a dump. I was a little shocked how bad eastern Iowa is after living in CR for a year. NW Iowa is surprisingly arrogant, but it is a lot nicer than southern Iowa. Southern Iowa has a unique landscape that makes it more interesting than NW Iowa's massive stretches of corn, but that's about it. Don't know much about NE Iowa, but it is the most beautiful part of Iowa, and it has some weird but charming Scandinavian culture.
I grew up in the Des Moines metro, and I definitely took for granted how nice it is.

Minnesotans are the worst when it comes to bragging about their state. They think they rival Texas in how much pride they have in their state. They all associate themselves with athletes from there as if they are all best friends (Tyus Jones for example, ask a Minnesotan about him next time, and I am sure you will get a lecture) with them and they continually judge everything based on how it is "back in Minnesota". I was born there and moved to Illinois, and being a MN sports fan it is easier for me because I usually agree with what they are saying, but other than that it is infuriating.
Careful now...you guys are walkin' on the wrong side of roundball, now...betta watch yo-sef.
YES! oh my, I dont even want to talk about the amount of times I've been forced to listen to an Atmosphere song against my will.
Huh? I was just sayin' roundball don't like no one denying the awesomeness of Minnesota, so you better watch how you steppin'.
Minnesotans suck even worse than southern Iowa does.
The people. The state isn't the worst thing in the world.

North end of Algona has a lot of restaurants that would be open for lunch, not 5 star dining but plenty of places to get a meal.
Wow @ your description of minnesotans. Who do you guys hang out with - 18 year olds finally getting out of the house?
The only time I'll say Minnesota is across-the-board better (and I've spent half my life there and half here) is outdoor recreation (and it's not even close) and the met council that governs the twin cities. I'm a map and city nerd and the met council allows all meteo cities to share tax revenue which basically eliminates the infighting that suburbs here do for business and industry. Cities work together up there where here they compete against one another.
