"Are you going to minneapolis?", asked my colleague and I said "Yes" and he presented me a showel as a parting gift, well I dint realize it when I landed here on december 3rd of 2007 and it snowed 2 feet.
And then started the longest winter I had ever seen in my life... it snowed till even April, but thanks to the sky ways I survived and am still alive...
I took an exquisite apartment overlooking Lake Calhoun.... and was eagerly waiting for winter to be over and once it was over I was mugged by armed mosquitoes, during my first visit to the lake after it melted to water..... Yes mosquitoes!!! as some call it the state bird of Minnesota.... with great lakes comes greater mosquitoes :-)
The citizens of this city boast of this term as frequently as I breath, "Minneapolis Nice", When I rented my first apartment I did not last the 6 month lease and left the apartment because of the noisy neighbours and believe me it was one of the paush places u can rent an apartment in, right above the lake calhoun... Drunk spoiled kid of some rich guy spoiled my 6 months in this city...
He never answered the door probably because the music was so loud he woudlnt have heard it... ranting to the apartment management did not help either because that kid was some senators cousin or something... so I come to this new apartment covered by creepers (ivy) and thought it is peaceful just next to the minneapolis institute of arts and I find this renter who has rented a neighboring apartment for 20 years..
And should I be surprised when I heard him annoying me through out my conference calls with noise from his apartment, ranting to this management did not help either. Preference given to the 20 year old renter than me. I just bought a white noise conditioner atleast I sleep peacefully now. My car has been broken into twice in downtown inside a parking lot, Just because my car has a GPS... So this is the city of minneapolis....
