The cities are cool, and like any major metropolitan area, every neighborhood has its own vibe. Duluth is a REALLY cool city, and totally worth a look. But I ended up in this small, off the freeway, city called Northfield. It’s really nice. There are plenty of jobs, lots of services, the rent is okay, and there are two liberal arts colleges here, which means that this tends to be a really progressive area
I’m familiar with Northfield but I’m also familiar with Randolph, Elko/New Market, Farmington and those areas don’t scream progressive to me which is why I was curious.
No, they’re not. They’re all a lot more rural. I don’t think many people consider Northfield because it’s out of the way and off the freeway (and surrounded by nothing), which is one of the reasons I think it is the way it is hahaha
There are plenty of MAGAS around. My old suburban district used to vote republican by a decent margin. That’s changed and we’ve elected Democrat to us house for a few cycles. But that democrat was Dean Philips. Northfield is about about 30 minutes out of the metro and is going to be very maga around it.

Does Northfield still smell like cookies every once in a while?
Yes it does :)
Northfield is progressive or the whole area? I would think you go 5 minutes in any direction and that sentiment would change.
Northfield is progressive. All around are farms. But it’s not all that far from the cities, either.

I know where Northfield is which is why I was asking. I grew up in that part of Minnesota and figured that area would mostly still be rural red.
