what other provider sites would anyboby recommend to take a look at?

I don't know if this site is legit.  But, lots of ads, lots of phone numbers.  

http://dreaslist.com/minneapolis/

But they don't have Minnesota?

I'm pretty sure they're just scraping backpage.. seems like all the same ads, word for word, picture for picture.

Or such as with EROS, have shrunk in popularity to complete irreverence, mostly the ads are the same old carpet-bagging girls of a bygone era - having not updated the pics in their ads in 10+ years...  

Backpage is about all we have left that's fresh and current, and while it's a mixed bag, it it the evolution of the best internet streetwalking sight of all time [tcuncovered.com] which I very much miss!
It was the first and best! An electronic extension of Citypages classifieds, it evolved and then went national, giving us the only REAL escort site this nation has left, backpage.com  (A little history lesson on our rich Minneapolis heritage of cash-4-gash)
