Very much hell no! Minnesota nice? More like Minnesota passive aggressive. Very insular, repressed people. Land is flat as a pancake. They call 5' deep weed choked ponds lakes.
But the economy, so many jobs, good jobs, every town has a factory a lot more than one. Malls look like its Xmas eve on a Tuesday in august there's so many people out spending money. A very prosperous state economically.
But I do miss Maine and the good people of Maine. Not the welfare abusers. Don't miss them.
