The City of St. Cloud is a community filled with diversity and culture. From the historic downtown to the booming commercial areas, St. Cloud has a lot to offer. Surrounded by several lakes, park and colleges St. Cloud is not only a destination, but a place to call home. The City of St. Cloud is also a great place to raise a family. Good schools, splash pads and concerts in the park are a few reasons St. Cloud is family friendly. St. Cloud also houses a large university and hospital as well as several private businesses. For work or pleasure there is a lot to do in St. Cloud!
St. Cloud is a passable place. It has the requisite mall, ok grocery stores, a movie theater, mediocre restaurants, a quiet "downtown," and 10,000 churches. Many residents are not so keen on "different" folks (I refer to one neighbor as "Jim Crow," and another sported a "I'll keep my guns and money and you can keep the change" sign for all 8 years of Obama). Central Minnesota is a very conservative Christian land, with an emphasis on extended families and people from "around here." If you're a Trumpublican, you're in luck, particularly in the surrounding areas, where things are as red as it gets. St. Cloud isn't a bad place, but neither is it interesting or vibrant.
St. Cloud has some really great restaurants, bars, and schools. There are a lot of wonderful, friendly, and welcoming people in town. I've heard that St. Cloud used to be overwhelmingly white, but it's starting to become more and more of a diverse and multicultural area.
I feel like St. Cloud still has some growing to do when it comes to recognizing and embracing all of the cultures that are helping the city to grow and improve. I think that the only way that St. Cloud will be able to become a more inclusive city is if the residents embrace each other and the cultures that they are a part of.
