I'm used to the large amount of Asian food that's available in Dallas. I could go off on long tangents about how much I love the variety of food I can get here. Unfortunately, most suburban areas I've looked at are snow white, which really disappointed me and cause me to scratch a lot of places off my list. St. Paul on the other hand has a very large Asian population.
It helps that I have a friend who moved to Minneapolis after college (I think he specifically lives in St. Louis Park), and he's been trying to convince me that I should move there if I need to leave Texas. So I started looking at the demographics of the area, and St. Paul's 15% Asian population jumped out at me.
By the way, St. Paul isn't the only place on my short list. Another one is the San Gabriel Valley in SoCal (Monterey Park, Alhambra, etc.), but a big turn-off to that area is the high cost of living.
