In fact, my many friends as family barely walks into Minneapolis after 7 pm because of the strange scenario many of us in Scandinavia and Minnesota have to endure among a gang of “men in help” who each time for the past 15 years makes it harder and harder to even walk past the problem.

We'd just seen the scene where Prince "baptizes" Appolonia in the waters of Lake Minnetonka. (And yeah folks, that's where Tonka trucks came from!)
      What I don't understand is how ANYBODY in a NY audience understood the "ope" joke in the monologue. I never realized we said that until maybe 2 years ago when someone pointed it out to me. I'm 57! "Ope, there ya go now." I've said that my whole life without knowing it was a thing. Not often, but it really is a MN thing. I guess?

    1. Minnesota - Come for the culture, stay because your car won't start!
    2. Minnesotans will give you directions to anywhere but their living room.*
    *This is the real definition of 'Minnesota Nice' - which only us outsiders know!
    Even though I'm glad I left (couldn't keep up with the cold!), I also still somehow miss Minnesota every day. Someone enjoy all the delicious food at the Minnesota State Fair for me this year! The ice cream in the Dairy building is the best ice cream ever made.

      I'm on the Range & do actually know some people who have the accent - but I don't & for the most part, I know more people without it than with it. Plus, up here it kinda sounds more Canadian than the stereotypical Scandinavian Minnesota accent. My 100% Finnish Iron Ranger grandpa had a stronger accent than I do. I know people from Duluth with it too. Some purposely do it just to annoy people too. There's a lot of rural people who move down to the Cities after school, so there's people down there who have an accent - I know several. It's just not a blanket accent for the whole state or even a whole region of the state. Minnesota is big & has immigrants from all over the globe along with the native tribal members - our accent varies. Heck, St Louis County is bigger than 3 northeastern states, so things vary up here within the county too.
      I worked at the Northwest Airlines call center in Chisholm when Fargo came out - nobody believed we were in Minnesota because most of us didn't have the accent. I do cringe when I hear someone overly exaggerating it now.

      The climate refuge segments are more inconvenient for Minnesotans than learning more about the state in general. I'm on the Range & there's been a lot of out of state transplants who are going way over the asking price when buying houses in St Louis County - so the county has been raising property values & taxes considerably in recent years. My house value has more than tripled in the past couple years & my property taxes have multiplied even more. They are blaming the house sales for literally taxing people out of their family's multiple generation homes. When your property taxes go from a few hundred dollars to a couple thousand in 2 years, people notice! My mortgage payment doubled & I refinanced before the pandemic to get the payments lower - that was a waste of a couple grand in fees!

And then, drove to Hibbing, Minnesota and saw: the house that Bob grew up in, his old high school, the building that was used for the Jewish temple that Bob attended, and saw a big Bob Dylan display at the local library. The entire city of Hibbing has become a mecca for Bob Dylan tourism.

      @@GaryJohnstone-dx5sv That’s right, friend, and Minnesota makes significant public investments in education, infrastructure and services as a result. Don’t be fooled though, states with lower overall tax burden may have higher property taxes, sales taxes or other fees to make up for their budget shortfalls. Minnesota has low unemployment, a high concentration of Fortune 500 companies, and consistently ranks higher for quality of life here too, but I imagine all that stuff doesn’t matter to you. 🙂
