MODERATORS
I'm just south of that area now. I'm considering moving up there, but no plans yet. I haven't had great experiences with healthcare in the area and it's making me not want to stay
I'ma second MN, but a little norther: Duluth :3 It's extremely white up here but all' the hunams are very nice and helpy, and Essentia is a lovely health system as far as I'm able to see (rather, the people in it are wonderful :3 ). There are waitlists for everything, though. Uhhhmmm... dunno if you're as poor as I am but services for stuff relevant to that are pretty available. Easier if you can handle phone calls. Responses are mostly by mail.
Also, we have pride events that bring critters up from Minne(apolis) so I think probably reasonably pridey <.< I struggle to go outside much though :-\ Oh, and we're on the biggest of the 10,000ish lakes in the state ;3
Also, like the Twin Cities have Minne and the boring one, the Twin Harbors have Duluth and the crappy cheesy one ๐ At least, I hear the water's bad over there. Our tap water rocks! Is delicious!
Anyway, is nice here I think. wiggles farewellily, skitters away
