Minneapolis?

John Nova Lomax has a good article on Houston's local music scene (or lack thereof) in this week's Houston Press. And there's even a bit on former Houstonian Mary Cutrufello, a favorite of mine who's left the Bayou City for ... Minneapolis. That seems like a strange move to me, but Mary says it's a great music city:

"I've traveled around the country and been to virtually every market of consequence," she says, "and Minneapolis had hands down the best, the most professional and the most vibrant music scene�There are people who make a living as cartage guys here, for God's sake. I'd never heard of cartage guys outside of New York, L.A. and Nashville."

Go figure.
