With Walz officially the VP now, what things do we need to explain to those who only see MN as a flyover state? The DFL party? Duck, Duck, Grey Duck? Our pride in our confederate flag? Lutheran sushi? Hotdish? Talking about the ‘91 Halloween blizzard? Ice fishing?

Haven't been to Minnesota in over a decade. Is Mall of America still a big deal?

It’s still super busy regularly. The amusement parks area in the middle is Nickelodeon now and not Camp Snoopy. There’s an IKEA across the street. Still fun to go if that’s your kind of thing.
