So the tall buildings is what makes it windy plus the surrounding plains. It’s not that bad. I think people over exaggerate it. Frankly, it’s awesome and I love living here.

Similar types of people, less clique-y here (if you aren’t from MSP or went to college there, you can feel like an outsider), always a lot going on and an unlimited number of restaurants and bars to check out, a little pricier but honestly not bad
