Daily Pattern: Minnesota Nice

I know Minnesota Nice refers to the always-polite-and-generous attitude of the locals, but I'd say it's pretty applicable to the environment as well.

I'd be willing to bet that if you're anywhere in the Twin Cities area, 15 minutes is the longest you'd have to walk to find a body of water and some huge, lush trees.

In Minneapolis alone there's three creeks, twelve lakes, three large ponds, a fair sized waterfall, five wetlands and, of course, the massive Mississippi River running through downtown.

Whether I'm at home or work, sometimes I forget just how easy it is to get away from the work-a-day world and back to nature if I want to.
