Minnesota is my birth state, and I have lived there all my life. I was born in Rochester which is best known for its large medical facility known as the Mayo Clinic. There are several things that Minnesota is known for. One is its frigid cold winters. Living in southern Minnesota I felt that the winters weren't that bad, until I traveled up north to Duluth. I realized how severe the winters can be. Duluth's winters are full of blizzards and its snow falls reach several feet per storm. Another thing Minnesota is known for is its abundance of lakes. There are over 10,000 lakes, and is the state with the largest number of boat owners. My family and I have always enjoyed going to lakes. Fishing, boating, tubing, and waterskiing are some of the activities we enjoy. Another thing Minnesota is known for is being the hockey state. People live for hockey, and since I was young I was brought up around the game. Although I have never played, I love watching hockey. Minnesota is a great state and I plan to make it a lifetime home.
You know you're a Minnesotan if...
Weather is 80% of your conversation.
Down south to you means Iowa.
Snow tires came standard on your car.
75% of your graduating high school class went to the Univ. of Minnesota.
People from other states love to hear you say words with "o"s in them.
You have no problem saying or spelling "Minneapolis."
Your school classes have been canceled because of snow or cold.
You assume when you say "The Cities" people know where you are referring to.
Nothing gets you madder than seeing a Green Bay sticker on a MN car.
You own an ice house, a snowmobile, and a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
You have gone Trick-or-Treating in 3 feet of snow.
Everyone you know has a cabin.
You beam with pride when some King or Hollywood super star comes to the Mayo Clinic to save their lives.
