Adding to Minnesota:
Mall of America, Split rock Lighthouse, Prince is from here, same with Bob Dylan, Motion City Soundtrack, Atmosphere, the Mayo Clinic, a lot of major companies started here (Target, Pilsbury, Malt O'Meal) One of the top art cities in the country, politically progressive, close proximity to Canada (also an awesome place), Duluth has some interesting things, Lake Superior/North Shore, best blueberry muffins anywhere.
My favorite place in Minnesota is the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, though that's also part of Canada and stuff, but still. One of my top 10 favorite places on Earth, literally.
Hot summers, freezing winters. If you're into outdoor sports (especially winter sports) there is plenty for you to do. Healthiest state in the country, also one of (if not the best?) educated. Lot of scandinavians. MST3K originated here. A lot of national radio staples are based here. Best welfare program, I believe.
In my opinion, there is no better place to live. Minnesota is my home, I love it. I've lived there the majority of my life. I think it's a wonderful place to raise a family. I will most likely die there, and nothing would make me happier. I miss my home. =(
And I love snow and cold weather, so it's all good. If that's not your thing, I'd recommend staying away, as it does get flippin' cold. Colder than parts of Alaska, even.
Our state muffin is the Blueberry muffin, and the state drink is milk. If that doesn't sound good old fashioned style country refreshing, I don't know what is. =)
