Sorry all of you SEO-tagging insiders, this meme is only for us Minnesotans. Aaron Weiche of the Find Buffalo Blog started a fun meme involving the wonderful state of Minnesota in which I live. Paul Jahn of LocalMN tagged me and now I’m supposed to name three things I love about Minnesota. So, here goes:
1. There is a ton of natural beauty here that you really appreciate after you travel around to other cities. Trees, lakes, and alot of green highlight the Spring and Summer. Especially up in northern Minnesota where the landscape is incredible.
2. The value. I’ve been to alot of other cities and always keep an eye on real estate and cost of living. You can’t find a better value than Minnesota. Quality, affordable housing close to a great metropolitan area with tons of niche restaurants, professional sports, and theatre.
3. The open-air Twins stadium opening here in 2010. Like Aaron, I’m a huge Twins fan and I cannot wait to to sit outside and watch baseball. Yes, the stadium is not actually here yet, but I can tell you it will be one of my favorite spots in the state.
I was a little concerned about passing on the meme since I don’t know a ton of other Minnesota bloggers, but Aaron had a useful link in his post to help out with that. So, I’m tagging:
You mentioned outdoor baseball and beer. I think I have tear in my eye …
Thanks for playing along, as I read your post we finally got some runs on the Tribe tonight … your good for karma as well.
[…] Then along comes a “local meme”. It was passed on to me by my blogging buddy Patrick Schaber, The Lonely Marketer. Love that blog name but Patrick’s obviously not as lonely as he thinks. He was tagged by Paul Jahn of LocalMN.com, a local search marketing guru, and was himself tagged by the originator of this local meme, Aaron Weich of Find Buffalo. That’s Buffalo, Minnesota in case you’re wondering. […]
