Greetings all you positive, lovely people:) And I mean that:) I was wondering if Prince still lived in Minnesota. I know this would be the best place to ask because from what I've seen you all are the most knowledgeable about the man. I know he has a house there...but does he actually live in it? And anyone who has ever visited Paisley and the surrounding area, how did you like it? Looking forward to hearing any feedback...thanks peoples:)

Well, I hope he still lives there, but he bought a 5 million dollar mansion in Toronto. Mani's hometown.I think he has been there since the end of the celebration without returning to MN. I think he has moved there permanently but I hope I'm wrong. Of course rich people can be anywhere they want in a matter of hours.

I think MN will always be home to Prince, but he may reside elsewhere from time to time.

he sold the house in spain too

He isn't here now, according to KMSP 9 tv, but he WAS here AFTER the celebration. He has been spotted a Starbucks 3-4 weeks ago in Chanhassen and a couple other places...


'nuff said.

There isn't a better place in the world.

very cool lovemachine, thank you:) have you ever been to Hopkins before? is that a nice area? or do you think living in the city of Minneapolis is better?

Idais said:

I guess it depends on whether you feel more comfortable in the suburbs (Hopkins is a suburb) or in the city. I personally live in the suburbs, but there is definately more going on in Uptown or elsewhere in the city.

Man...i'd luv 2 live in Minny just for a few months so i could say 'I lived in Minny'!

To be able to take a quick drive 2 the Park 4 a Paisley Party would be awesome...

derek said:

Not that there are Paisley parties anymore. The pickings have been a little lean over the last 2 years.

actually not. Prince just moved in with me - temporarily to prepare for the European tour - in the real best place in the world (Amsterdam, Netherlands). He is considering staying here and looking for a spot to build a new Paisley Park complex in the South-East region of the town.

I've been meaning to visit Minnie for the longest. I never get around to it. I know it's a nice place to shop, to say the least...

Blue

I want to move to Mn. too. When I heard that Prince moved to
Toronto and there hasn't been a jam in a long time, I felt really disappointed. Do you think the jans will start up again?

Way to go Idais!

I went to MPLS last month with my kids and I have neva seen them so free and happy like that. I enjoyed it too, PPL there are so mellowed and so nice(Also crazy as hell ).

I was born there but moved to Harlem at the age of 5, I do however remember this great city. Girl, If I was you I'd pack my bags right now and go there.

I'll move there next year too!

Hope you enjoy it living there!

Alright then Harlepolis, I'm packing up now, you've convinced me to go early LOL It sounds like a welcome change, especially after living in Los Angeles for awahile...I'm looking forward to it

He has been spotted here in the Toronto, unfortunately not by me. A colleague of mine actually saw him, his bodyguard and wife in downtown Toronto not too long ago. Apparently he was sitting on some steps, talking on the phone.
I hope I get to see him soon before he moves out of the area... if he is living here that is.

You will love it here assuming that you can handle a rough winter. Come January 20th when it's -10 you might wonder what the hell you were thinking.

I will see you at PP sometime.

AFAIK, Prince does not have Canadian citizenship nor "green card" status, so I would think that he can't just pack up and move to Canada permanently. But since he's married to a Canadian, he should be able to become a legal immigrant if he wants to do so.

johnny said:

Johnny that sounds horrible, i don't wanna be that close to Paisley Park or the Mall of America *wink* LOL thanks for the info...much appreciated:) and a quiet midwestern atmosphere sounds GREAT, i need a break from Los Angeles LOL

lovemachine said:

Right, I will see you there sometime lovemachine, that would B 2 cool...and, yes, i was told how dreadfully cold it can get up there in MN, but that just means i need to get a big ass jacket i guess LOL

did you say -10!!! good lawd...that's cold

Whether Prince lives in Minneapolis or not is really not a reason to move there. If you like Quiet Midwestern places that are pretty,clean and quiet, a good place for raising children then move there,however if your Justification or reason to move there is because you Think Prince will Perform more concerts or even be Involved with you somehow. Well,you are very mistaken. I say if I ever move to Minneapolis it's going to be cause I want to and If I ever Meet My Prince well, I'm not changing and If he Loves me then he Will Love me For Me! Since there is Nothing wrong with me I Know someday My Prince will find me. We can just live Our Lives and Deal with Our issues and worrying and obsessing over Mr. Nelson is Foolish. Wherever he lives I hope he's Happy.

lookin @ july's pic...it's...the shoes.

anyhoo--seems like there've been a lotta ppl buggin over whether or not p still lives around here or not...yeah, he's still here. he'd have 2 stick around--toronto 2 chanhassen each day would be one helluva commute.

Not that I have to tell you why I'm moving to MN because some ignorant people will think whatever they want regardless and those people can kiss my fair ass, but to sum it up, it's not because of Prince. And where did all of this changing and if he loves me mess come from. That shit is about YOU not ME, I didn't mention any of it. Don't come to this thread trying to start shit. There was a number of positive, cool people giving input, then this bullshit you wanted to write, assuming all types of ridiculous nonsense. This thread was simply about if Prince still lived in MN. Don't make it out to be more than it is. It amazes me how people will a mountain out of a damn molehill so to speak. This is my first damn thread on this site but from this bullshit you call yourself writing, you could swear that you might know me, but guess what...YOU DON'T. To all the people with some sense that understood I was simply making an inquiry, thank you very much for the information. My ass is STILL looking forward to moving to MN AND visiting Paisley Park. Hope to see you there sometime johnny.
