Same here.

I've also heard its nice there. It looks nice from the pictures also. And I think the Mall of the Americas is there or near there.

Horrible airport layout. Had to do some work there, and would fly up there often.

Haven’t spent much time in the city. Very nice looking city, though. I want to go back and do a bit more exploring.

My city is beautiful & has the same shyt better than other cities get praised for, imo. My nephew battle raps freestyle at the local venues & we have jazz & other music spots. Architecture is great. Art & entertainment be flawless.

Some rapper came here & they brought him to the hood, by my house. Dude told me the Bloods & Crips showed him love & told him to get his money.

Just beware the Becky's, a lot be loving BBC & are out there plotting. & We've been labeled the most sexist state.

My music GOAT, not rap, is Prince & I got to actually say "What's up" before he died.

My vote is a 7. I think it's the 2nd best city in the midwest right behind Chicago. I believe it's on par if not better than Seattle.

Pros

Quality of life
Great place to raise a family
school system k-12 top notch
largest mall in mall of america
Very liberal- the last republican that got voted as President was Nixon in 72.
All 4 sports teams
Great place for the arts(top notch museums and theaters)
Great economy- Best buy, target, United healthcare, general mills all have headquarters here.

Cons
Very white and it feels white
If you see a house with a black lives matters sign, it's a white person
Even some of the black owned business have white people working there.
No black middle class
Downtown is only booming Friday and saturday night. any other night it's a ghost town
Largest gap between blacks and white unemployment
weather- HORRIBLE. Winter can last for 6 months here and im talking single digit or negative temps
women- if you like snow bunnies, you will be in heaven. White girls here look good. Not some fat trailer park woman either. In shape, nice face white women. sistas- not so much. maybe a few gems. but most of the black women here go both ways. But i can't really judge because some brothas might have more success with black women here.
Isolated- Chicago is like a 7 hour drive. No nearby cities. you have to fly everywhere.

My advice- if you're coming from a black city like Atlanta or dc- it's a culture shock. If you're used to cities like Denver, seattle and Portland, you'll love it here. If a company offers you a high paying job to come here, take it.

If you live here

Boca chica and el burrito are dope spots to eat

It’s ok to me
