Just to clarify for those outside of MN, 'cities' is local short hand for 'Twin Cities' which is short hand for Minneapolis/St. Paul (and in this case, surrounding suburbs)

Oh, and with the exception of Fargo (ND), Duluth, MN and other potential future locations in MN are actually 'in' state, not 'out' state. (A peeve of some of us from MN but not from the 'cities')
