Just thought I would see if there are any locals who could give me some insight on the region.....
I am looking seriously at a job in Mankato, or optionally In the warehouse district of Minneapolis. It is a dream job for me otherwise I wouldn't even be considering it. I've lived in Calgary for 16 years and Saskatchewan before that. So this would be a change of country and literally and change of everything for me and my family.
The big incentive is obviously the job, but the other thing is quality of life. I grew up in a small city and wouldn't mind raising my son in a smaller center. Calgary is a great place but we could literally double the size of our house with a move to Mankato... not to mention an acre of land and a big shop.
My favorite hobby is boating and I just invested in a very expensive boat.
So tell me about the region! Taxes? Lifestyle? Weather? Boating? Anything you could share would help with this huge decision.
Thanks in advance.
