What is living in Rochester, Minnesota, like for you?

"Living in Rochester has been great for my family as the city is very family friendly. There are plenty of things to do for all age groups. It does get cold in the winter but that does not seem to stop people from being active. The area is also growing as it is a destination medical center, so food and entertainment options are constantly being added. The Twin Cities are an easy drive north, which has everything else that you could want."
