imitation - the lazy form of flattery

I like to check in with the Twin City folks from time to time over there at mnspeak. Sometimes I could whittle away the hours reading comments and feeding fuel to the fire myself. Love it or hate it .. it's fun to be a blog voyeur!
Anyhooo
They have a fun post this afternoon about what is overrated or underrated about the Twin Cities .. I think we should start a post like that today about Duluth. So go ...
overrated = the cold
underrated = PDD!
