Minneapolis... I didn't really have to think about that one.  But I'm from Minnesota, what'd you expect?  Minneapolis is actually quite a bit warmer than what I'm used to!

Some positives abotu Minneapolis:

2nd highest per capita number of theater seats and theater goers in America behind New York City.
Highest number of golfers per capita of any major U.S. city.
Rollerblades were invented here.
One of the most biker/runner/pedestrian friendly cities in the country.

Minnesota has more bicyclists, sports fishermen, and snow skiers per capita than any other state.
Minneapolis is home to one of the most renowned research hospitals in the world, the University of MInnesota Medical Center.
The average high temp ranges between 70 and 83 from early May to mid October.
The city (and region) has a huge biotechnology, medical research, food research, and general high-tech jobs presence.
Median income is quite high while the cost of living is relatively low.

Boston and Minneapolis are comparable in many ways.  I think Minneapolis is the seriously underrated one of hte two.  Lexington doesn't even come close.
