#the traffic was literally 1/3rd of my decision to move back to Des Moines after living up here for 2-ish years back in my early 20s

I haven’t been up to the twin cities for more than just one very quick day trip for a wild game last spring since 2019 (I used to come up for various things about 4-5x a year) and man I didn’t realize how much I missed coming up here.

I’m sure if I spent more than few days here I’d be tearing my hair out over the traffic and general number of people, but right now I want to move back so badly.

#the traffic was literally 1/3rd of my decision to move back to Des Moines after living up here for 2-ish years back in my early 20s #I am a medium-sized city girl at heart. I can’t handle needing more than about 15 minutes to get anywhere #anne blabs #I got to have ikea meatballs and I got to go to my very favorite independent art store… #I got to have green mill pizza which has so much nostalgia for me #I haven’t gotten to go fabric shopping but that just gives me an excuse for another trip soon #I am sad I went during the actual least pretty time of year though (winter with no snow) #I need to experience St. Paul in the autumn again for my soul to be complete
