Totally schweet. As many of you know, I went to school in the Twin Cities and if it weren’t for the cold, I’d move back in a heartbeat. The arts community there has always been outstanding. And I only mention that because in Seattle, with all its tech-wealth, public support for the arts is almost zippity-doo-dah. Which begs the question: if a city doesn’t support the arts can one really all it -progressive-?

By the way, did you notice the word unanimous in there? The Twin Cities have always punched above their weight, both in terms of culture -and- civics.
