Agalloch fans might be interested...

that whole great-lakes area is baffling. it's cold as shit, it snows like crazy with no mountains, and tons of people live there. why?

I agree with you on this. But Minneapolis-St.Paul is decent. It's a metropolitan spot with tons of amenities and the cost of living here is not bad.

Problem is the only other place that's awesome is Chicago which is 400+ miles away, it IS cold as shit, and everything surrounding it is redneckville.
 
Isn't Dubai one of the richest countries in the world????

They have a really tall building, I know that much....
