Not really...
Minneapolis is a more worldly artsy "big city" town, and St. Paul is a more laid back town. Neither one is very big, though. The Twin Cities metro area has almost 3 million people living in it now, but Minneapolis proper is less than 400,000, and St. Paul is less than 300,000. Suburbia reigns here. :-)
We have a lot of data centers here, and two years ago the tech marketplace here was quite good from a technology job seekers perspective.
Unfortunately, a lot of the larger employers around here like 3M, Unisys, NWA, Siemens, Qwest, etc., have been laying off, and many others are locked tight until the storm passes.
