I spent a January and February in Rochester, MN, and that's the last time I was ever there, cured me of wanting to go!
On the positive side, I learned what the outlets on the parking meters were for.
Sounds like you had a Mayo visit.
Rochester is great from April through October. Same for the Twin Cities. Elliot’s house in Stillwater is near some awesome scenery.
Actually, I was up there when I worked for IBM, but I did visit several nurses from the Mayo Clinic, it was a target-rich environment!
My dad worked for IBM in Rochester for about 25 years after requesting a transfer from New York. It started with a nine-month special project by IBM to build a new sorting machine at the Rochester MN plant for the post office in Manhattan.
After the project was done, he decided he wanted to live in Rochester, not Brooklyn, so we eventually made the move. He was joined by two other fellow New Yorkers who felt the same way.
Personally, I preferred the Twin Cities area to Rochester. But if we’re talking O gauge trains, I prefer the Milwaukee area to anywhere in Minnesota.
