the big cherry

the one and only minnesnowta. ask anyone living in la, miami, or nyc whats there and the answer will inevitably be snow and farmland. but any minnesotan will cordially disagree. ive loved growing up in minnesota. but it wasnt until i started spending more time in minneapolis until i truly understood the real energy behind the place. the city has a vibe, like electricity in the 

air, you can just feel it. 

minneapolis gets its vibe from   the people who live there. its   overflowing with creativity, with   art and beauty. there are   bands   of "creatives" that  collaborate   with eachother. they know about   life, theyve  been places. yet   they choose to   stay in   minneapolis because they   understand how precious it really   is. ive never seen more beautiful   people than in the city. ive   never seen happier people than on   the lake. ive never felt scared,   lost or small there. because youre   not just in the city, youre a part of it. and ive never felt that way in any other city. 

so heres to minnesnowta. to lake minnetonka and calhoun. to uptown and downtown. heres to moa. to caribou coffee. dowtown wayzata. big island. hot summers and freezing winters. to highland. to atmosphere. to the cherry and the spoon. to the people who love that place as much as i do. stay nice minnesota.
