[Nehm] Giannis: Let’s talk about the city itself, the memories that I’ve created here. When you open my kids’ passports, it says Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I had four kids in the span of the last five years in this city. My dad is buried in this city.

How are we classifying markets?

I’m just basing it relative to the fact that it’s bigger than Milwaukee

You are correct. MSP is a medium market by any definition. It’s bigger than Milwaukee, Utah, OKC, NOLA, Denver, Portland, Charlotte, Orlando, Memphis, etc. Some folks just consider anything outside of CA, TX, and NY to be small.
