Born and raised on the hard-scrabble streets of Minneapolis proper, Uptown area (before it was cool). Haven't lived there since I was 18 but most of my family still lives there. We have family ties "up north" as well, as a young lad I spent many summers on the farms of Sandstone, the lakes of Brainerd, and of course the shores of Lake Superior up by the Canadian border. Can't find a better place to be (in the summer)!
