Twin Cities connect

This post is a place for people of the Minnesota Twin Cities. If you live in the Twin Cities, please reply so that we can help and learn from each other. We are local guides, but it’s not always easy to find other local guides in this area.

Hello neighbors! I’m JRob. You can see my maps profile here: https://goo.gl/maps/A9mxkGybBJB2

I’ve had a lot of fun being a local guide. My desire to progress through the levels and badges has encouraged me to get out and be more engaged, and to spend more time outside. A couple years ago, I played Ingress for the same reason, but I didn’t care for the lack of thoughtful cooperation. Being a local guide fits me much better.

I realized that I could get a lot of points taking pictures in parks. Then I realized that I could get even more points taking pictures in cemeteries. Since then, I’ve been progressing quickly. Also I found that about 5% of the parks weren’t listed on the map, so I went through city websites and got the trailblazer badge.

So that’s me. I look forward to hearing about you.

Hey all, just moved to Minnetonka in 2016, didn’t have an Android phone until last year (Windows phone: RIP 2013-2018) which is when I was introduced to Google Guides. Since I’m originally from the Pacific Northwest (Bellingham, WA) I really appreciate the nature of this area. As I’ve been going places and doing my thing I began posting a few bits here and there, got a little momentum reaching Level 5 and decided this year to really get into it with more purpose to share what’s cool and interesting in this area. Lots of creative input everywhere through Guides, which is pretty sweet. Hopefully can connect with others in the area and take this to the next level (figuratively and literally).

Hello everyone. My name is Victor. I will be moving to St. Louis Park at the end of December and starting my new year in MN. I am a photographer by trade and I enjoy dining out, trying new places, and meeting new people. I am looking forward to getting to know the area and meet (and possibly dine) with some of you once I get there.

Love to meet
