Minnesotans? Where are you at...

I got this from the Wisconsin thread. I know there are several people on here from MN so I thought it would be nice to share what part of the state we are from.

I live near Alexandria. Anyone else?

Well...I was born in MN, but only lived there until I was 8(Plymouth, New Hope area)...However, we go up north to my parents cabin in Nisswa every summer! We LOVE Minnesota!!

I'm still bummed out that Paul Bunyanland is gone!
