I’m from Canada, only been to Minneapolis once but absolutely loved the city. Would certainly consider moving there, but it being smack dab in the middle of buttfuck nowhere is so sad.
Good food man. One of the best designed cities in the U.S. imo.
Sparse, but underrated.
People hog the left lane and don’t respect flashing to pass. Fuck is up with that? Some of the most inconsiderate, yet slow drivers in America.
Flashing your lights or highbeams to pass is seen as quite agressive in the US. It isn’t taught in drivers ed, and the general interpretation I hear most people have of it isn’t “Hey, could you let me pass?” but instead “Hey! Fuckface! Stop driving so goddamn slow and get out of the damn way you shithead!”
Doesn’t help that in my experience, the only people flashing to pass are aggressively tailgating me when I’m already 10 mph or more over the speed limit.
Better to just pass on the right if there’s room. And if there isn’t room, fuck off telling someone to get out of your way. Not like they can get over anyway.
I’ve never heard of flashing to pass, the only thing I’ve seen it used for is to let a car in the right lane trying to get into the left lane know it’s safe to do so (as a driver in the left lane). I’ve only ever seen it used by truckers.
As far as Minneapolis goes, I’m quite the opposite. Having lived on the west coast I dread going to Minneapolis — everyone seems to be in a bad mood whenever I go there.
I hate to say it, but when traveling in Tucson the Canadian drivers make me absolutely crazy. It’ll be 100°F out and they’re driving as if there’s ice all over the roads.
Minneapolis is a great place to live, but I’m not sure I’d want to visit as a tourist. Which I’m totally cool with, I grew up in Orlando and I’ve had enough of living in a tourist town.
I’ve never heard of flashing to pass?! In Australia that’s straight up road rage antics. You might want to check whether your local customs apply to the places you travel. That kind of misunderstanding could get you hurt.
If you’re from the Midwest, anywhere in the Midwest. It’s all exactly the same.
