What items are made in your state?

[kpgclark]

All this is reminding me of how much fun it would be to do a hometown/homestate exchange where you send out items made in your area of the country.

Well, it used to be iron ore and taconite, but they are all depleted now! We are the home of the Mall of America, Pillsbury foods, General Mills, Land O'Lakes dairy products, the Mayo Clinic, Medtronics pace makers, Dairy Queen, SPAM, Green Giant...etc etc. Do you get the idea we have a food thing going on here?

Typical "cities" answer Diane! LOL

I take it you haven't been north in a while? The half dozen or so taconite mines that remain standing are going strong. I can't get hubby off his 14 hour shifts!!!

Babbitt Minnesota also hosts a company that manufactures pool tables.
Diamond matches are produced in Cloquet and Buhl sends bottled water off to parts unknown!
