Things that Come to Mind When You Think Of Minnesota

Stereotypes and famous places are just the tip of the iceberg for Minnesota but sometimes it’s fun to take a look at what the rest of the country sees. As a non-native Minnesotan, I can attest to the fact that these are the things that come to mind when they think about Minnesota.

3. Lakes. People hear there are a lot in Minnesota.

4. Fishing. Usually happens in all those lakes.

6. Mall of America. Minnesota invented the mall.

7. The Mayo Clinic. A saving grace to many.

11. The Minnesota State Fair. Probably the best.

13. Hotdish. How did I ever live not knowing what this is?

14. Beer. And drinking in general, let's face it.

15. Niceness. Until you get to Minnesota you don't get how nice Minnesota really is.

While first impressions do have merit, however, as a Minnesota transplant, I can also now attest to the fact that Minnesota is so much more than its stereotypes. It is an amazing and breathtakingly beautiful state and I am very proud to live here. Minnesotans, what do you wish people would think of?
