I was a waitress at Rick's from '80-83 (yes, I am old) and have seen it all. It was a blast. |

We moved here from Ann Arbor in 88 after being born and raised in MI. Very great place to live. I think you will be happy here. I agree with a lot that psonda wrote. I would focus a search on Uptown or if you can afford it, new condos, lofts, etc. that have been built along the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis. The con of Uptown is that you usually don't get an indoor parking space and you have to move your car around constantly during our snow emergencies. I'd try to look at places in Mpls where you have a garage spot below the building. You'd be within walking distance to Target field and lots and lots of great bars and restaurants and the Guthrie Theatre. You would also be near the light rail line where you could easily get to the airport. I personally would not do North Minneapolis, but as someone mentioned above it is an up and coming area in some part, but be very careful if you go that direction. Stay South Mpls, Uptown or downtown. The Mac-Groveland area of St. Paul is nice, as are many places near Grand Avenue in St. Paul. Mac-Groveland would be more residential and you'd need a car - our transportation system is not that great here. Grand Ave, depending on the area, has tons of great bars and restaurants. The ring suburbs (Blaine, Roseville, Burnsville) are for young families and restaurant chains, don't do that now. We live in Minnetonka but we're 50 with 2 kids. If I were your age, I'd head right for Uptown where it's the really happening place or downtown Mpls with a condo on the river. Lyn-Lake is a fun area as well but I'm not sure of the housing situation there.

17 year old crashed the car into a snowbank on the way to his ACT test this morning (probably 2K in damage). Still got there on time, good for him. Then, drove the wrecked car home and got a speeding ticket (his first). He's a good kid so it's hard to figure out how to handle this. |

was my husband's freshman year. He was just telling me the story of that day. He lived on a floor with a bunch of the football players (he was an Honors student) and they spent the whole day outside in the snow playing football. He said that the Florida players were having the most fun. |

So much advice, so little space. I have a 21 year old and a 17 year old, so I can say for certain that you should enjoy the early years because it gets really hard when they are teenagers. Oh, and before you know it, they're all grown up and you wonder where the time went. Again, congrats and have fun! |

(I was wondering if someone would mention that). I'm going to leave that to my husband tonight. (Honey, if you're reading, be ready!) |
