As a MSP-ian with a pretty heavy classical & jazz & random stuff habit, I never go to the suburbs unless I'm visiting my grandparents. Ever. Even in quiet and boring downtown St Paul it is easy to rotate through the opera/the chamber orchestra/the Baroque Room/Studio Z/Bedlam Theater/the Amsterdam and match that with drinks at any number of establishments. Minneapolis has many more choices and more beautiful people, all downtown, including one of the most vibrant theater scenes in the country. And our city farmer's markets kick ass. The suburban ones are small and in a church parking lot. Why would you go to a suburb for culture? I seriously don't understand. There is nothing in the MSP suburbs unless the orchestra drives out there for an outreach concert. And my friend who likes country music drives out of town to a country bar...
