Bloomington is convenient for the traveling provider, because that's where the airport is, and MOA, of course, which is on most people's bucket list.  I still cannot figure out why some of the local hobbyists dislike going to Bloomington; I can only assume they live in the north area of the metro and don't want to waste gas.  But even though downtown Minneapolis might be closer, there's still the parking to pay for.  So I vote Bloomington...or any location near a major highway.

I recommended staying in the moa area because it will be easier for clients to locate you since moa is popular here.Also free parking since its not downtown

I decided to go with the Bloomington, Mall of America option and found a spot that looks like a super convenient fit. Discreet, and classy of course. I'm super excited to see the Twin Cities!!!
