Funny you mention Minneapolis. I've lately been very intrigued (I've met a ton of people from Minnesota over the past couple of years and I never realized what a great place it is).
Also have neighbors here who moved back to Madison, WI and love it.
I left out the entire west when I responded earlier - really I'd like to be somewhere in northern CA.
It's a very balanced city. And homes within the city are very affordable. Probably the best value-for-your-money city in America that isn't on a coast. Great public transit also.

I lived in MPLS for several years. I loved it. The big thing is the weather. My take on the cold is, like my take on the heat here. You either learn to live with and around it, or you become miserable. People ice fish, cross country ski, bike, etc... The rent is more expensive by housing seems comparable to buy for similar prices.
I don't mind the cold. I love the 4 seasons climate here, but I would definitely take colder winters. I had an absolute blast when we got snow here this winter. So climate isn't a concern for me in a possible relocation. I just can't take the extended heat that my birthplace of Florida offers.
Maybe Madrid. Nice weather. Great architecture and museums.
