ura-pretentious douche. Review the Museum if you want, you pompous windbag, but don't presume to know enough about the Midwest to insult it's residents. Go back to Haahhhvaaahd and stay there til you figure out what real class is. Losah.

Pros

+ Decent Minnesotans

Cons

- High brow malcontents

It would be harder to find a better value for your money,... more
