Talk about suburban sprawl!

Commute is a biatch. Wonder when the LRT extension is coming in?

I remember being a kid and being in the cities for anything with the discussion of where you are from.

So I would say Roseau.
-Oh, yeah I know where Roseville is.
No, Roseau.
-Where's that?
Up north.
-By St. Cloud.
No futher north, like near the border.
-You mean by Alex.
A lot further north.
-What's further north than Alex?

I am not kidding you, this was a very common exchange with anyone south of like Hwy. 12 or the cities.

This scenario is nearly an every day occurance for me--and I have lived in "the cities" for about 20 years now. First, they are sure that they heard you say Roseville. (You have to repeat the name a few times and then, ultimately, spell it out for them.) Then, it seems to me that the next thing they say is: "Oh that's up on the range." Finally, I explain that there is a little "chimney" at the top of the state that sticks into Canada... I tell them that Roseau is right next to the chimney. This can be confusing though, as sometimes they then think that Roseau is in Canada.

I always thought that Roseau was a suburb of Edina.....That chimney thing really cleared things up for me!

Someone should send that idiot author of the article a map of Minnesota with the locations of Roseau and Minneapolis highlighted.

And I thought Roseau was a suburb of Winipeg!

Doesn't the North Star Commuter Rail line run through Elk River to...

Hopefully, Byfuglien didn't promote this suburb idea w/ the reporter, as he has shown tendancies to be a bit of a "free spirit" in his life...

It should, aren't you paying taxes for it up there??

Actually, little know fact--Roseau is actually a suburb of Salol

If Roseau is a suburb we gotta get in there & get some kids to Hill.

Sweet PPG

Thank you, you made my day at work!

Is "Warrod" a suburb too?

Absolutely. With this guys knowledge of geography, Moorhead would be a suburb of Billings.......

Its true sad how it is looked at being from the north. I have heard comments about how they cant believe we live this far north, even been asked if we had power lines up here. Are people down in the cities that wraped up into themselves or they just plan slow?

Don't be ridiculous, we all know that you have power lines. You got them in '98 - the year after indoor plumbing, right?


C'mon... it's a joke!

Things like this happen all the time. People from nowhere near Minnesota write about high school hockey here and are just dead wrong. One example is an article from the Boston Globe (i think) this year about the tournament where teams from around here go play the best Boston ahs to offer. The article talked about the AHA-Catholic Memorial game and referred to AHA as the defending state champs (even though they didn't go to state last year) and talked about a really good player from AHA named John Mattson (real name Danny). It's just annoying.
