Good point. the temperature difference must be a shocker.. it can sure get cold .. and then ya have the wildlife to contend with, moose and wolves and deer mostly but .. I lost track of how large the numbers of emigres is to the Metro area. it’s been a magnet for all peoples for years..
When I first heard about "missing" teenaged male Somalis, there were a few long stories at some online Minnesota newspaper which mentioned that many Somalis live in the Rochester, Minnesota area, and plenty of them have service jobs associated with all the travellers who go to the Mayo Clinic. Also, there were one or two small towns, very rural, which were mentioned, which had meat butchering and/or meat packing plants.
I don't remember the details, but I'm certain I didn't see anything way far north mentioned, nothing like Duluth or even Branerd.
