Minnesota Perceptions

Somebody conducted a survey.
Surprise!
Karyn Gruenberg, Meet Minneapolis's vice president of marketing, said the perceptions from "out-of-towners" were skewed.

"People think there's nothing to do in Minneapolis-St. Paul," she said. "They think it's fly-over land."
I'd like to think I have something to do with that.


Kathy Tunheim, board member at Meet Minneapolis and CEO of Tunheim Partners, Inc., knows this challenge is a tough one.

"We want to improve retention," she said. "It's hard to recruit people to come here because if they know anything about here, their perceptions are probably wrong."

The project is in the first stage of informing residents about common views of the cities.

Let me inform the residents of common views of their cities:

1. Your economy is so far down the crapper plumbers aren't returning your calls.
2. Your residents are a bunch of passive-aggressive meth-addicted dicks. Who have sex with dead animals.
3. "What a craphole!" should be printed on T-shirts and sold at an MSP kiosk. Might provide a few jobs.

As a bonus, I hope "out-of-towners" know that even two-year old children shoot people here.

Note: to access the story about Minnesotans having sex with animals, and two-year old shooters, just do the seven-day pass thing when the link comes up. Give a fake birthyear and zip code, etc.
