Oh look, precisely the kinda stuff I keep seeing that makes me want to move there 🤣

It's great here! As long as you don't mind cold and and snow. That's what indoor board games are for though 🎲

Oh, those things that I like that I don't get anymore here in Virginia? 🤣

The initial draw was my understanding that the area is particularly progressive with a higher concentration of leftists (Bible belt problems,) but I also like snow and board games and shit. Plus I'm a disabled vet and IIRC I read that transit is free statewide for us which wouldn't hurt.

Yep!

Disabled Veterans: Ride free at all times by showing a Veteran's Identification Card issued by the Dept. of Veterans Affairs with the words "Service Connected" or "SC" below the photo. Call 612-467-1991 or visit the VA website for details.

And yeah, Minneapolis is fairly progressive, we've got some nice places like May Day Books and lots of things to do in the snow like skiing at Theodore Wirth Park
