Hon - there is nothing for me in Iowa. No jobs, nothing. This is an opportunity I don't want to pass up. It's a big city with a lot more opportunities and experiences.

Fun town, Downtown (Nicolette Mall area, all the skywalks) is awesome, and its also cool around 494, France avenue, Lyndale, Penn, Mall of America area. Really neat place.

There's 4 words to memorize:
Mortons
Mannys
Murrays
The Oceanairre

That's five words. But as people above said, embrace the cold.

Two words: The Guthrie

there is a great music scene in the Twin Cities. Be sure to check out the City Pages

Well, it feels official now.

My parents just rented a townhouse over the weekend, so I have an address now. Gonna be living in Arden Hills.

Also ordered my new phone over the weekend - T-mobile, so hopefully that should come in the next few days.


I'm excited - all I need is a job now. My stepdad is moving on Sunday, my mom a week from next Sunday, and I will be up there once we move all our furniture (so I have a place to sleep )

Been living on the West Bank for about 5 years, moving Uptown in a couple of months.

Tip: Bring a jacket. A warm one. :beer:

I have Verizon wireless, and it has been pretty good. Never have reception problems.

And I also like Tool.

I think two more words need to be added to that list: Bring Money. Very pricey (but worth it!)

Looks like I'll be moving to the Twin cities within a month or so.

Any tips? Advice?

I'll probably be looking for a new wireless service - any recommendations?

I wouldn't mind living there. I have a couple of buddies up there who absolutely love the area. They have cranking internet connections at really cheap prices.

I live 4 hours away north of the TWIN cities (Bemidji MN).

Moving durring spring or summer can help the shock of subzero temperatures durring the winter.
We usually go to the cities once a month just to catch abit of culture (plays) or most of the time to eat and hit the outlet shops.

good luck

Damn you live in walleye country

Ah, just kidding, really. It should be nice and quiet; maybe too quiet. You may find it a tad, uh, unexciting. (But that's just this city boy's opinion. )

Considering I'm moving there from Iowa, I'm sure it'll be fine. Besides, it's not too far from downtown, etc.

I think I'll be having a blast up there

You could be right, ND is damn tough this year. Gophers were awesome last weekend, but they are so up and down, could suck it up this weekend. At least Wisconsin and SCSU are out!

Wait, this thread was about hockey, right?

No, it's about UND owning the U of M.

more advice for toolgirl: know your hockey, and be careful of who you talk smack about

So, are you going to be taking any classes at the U here? (Or other school, still in high school (nah!), or just hanging out and working?)

I wish I was still in college. LOL

Actually, I'm thinking about either going to law school or getting my masters in criminal justice. Until then I will just be working and hanging out.

Next topic: favorite bars that you should check out.

Try Kieran's, Nye's, O'Donnovan's, Bullwinkle's, all in Mpls. Don't know the St. Paul scene too well...

Got the hating the packers down - not so sure about the Vikings yet, but maybe they'll grow on me

 

[trilks]

<-- Bears fan, so hate the Packers more than just about anything

Vikings? ...no comment...
