Things I did not know about Minnesota

My husband’s brother and his family visited over Christmas.  I learned a lot about living in Minneapolis 

  • They do not call it a school buzz book.  It’s called a School Directory.  
  • If your car breaks down, people rush in to help you.  People up there take great pride in helping others with car repairs, stranded vehicles, etc.  Compare in contrast to my brother in law who was stranded with a stalled car on Christmas Eve at the Eureka WalMart and not a single person helped him push his car out of the way.
  • The newest wave of immigrants in Minneapolis are the Karen of Burma.  They are persecuted Anglicans who have found their way to Minneapolis’ Episcopal Churches.
