A Minnesota Winter is not for the faint of heart. Last winter, Minneapolis, was one of several cities in the “Polar Vortex”, known for its dangerously, frigid temperatures. Although most Minnesotans have to grunt through the pain of winter, in summer, there are plenty of parks to hike, bike, walk, and enjoy the warmth. Another fun aspect of daily Minneapolis living, is the coffee shops. If you are a coffee or tea lover, there are so many new coffee shops popping up around the city.

Minneapolis has 24 community gardens throughout the city that are cared for by community members. Minneapolis is culturally enriched with multicultural communities from all across the globe, including populations from Latin America, East Africa, Asia, Europe, along with the original settlers from Germany and Sweden. Minneapolis was home and continues to be home to many indigenous tribes. The city’s multicultural and multilingual communities have influenced its multicultural visual and performing arts, the food scene, music, fashion, theatre, entertainment, film, sports, and politics, both locally and nationally.

It is very cold in winter; summers are hot and humid; there are many parks and trails and people love outdoor activities; downtown is boring, not much to do. Young people love to gather in Uptown, where the bars and the night clubs are found. There is also the Guthrie Theater and you can find many art galleries.
