Downtown is a war zone on the weekends. I hate it

The city needs to thrive at all times and not just when games or concerts are happening. Minneapolis isn't an amusement park. If it's not bustling night and day then it's dying. The biggest factor affecting the city is crime!

59th out of 63 cities? LMFAO! So vibrant and thriving like the news and the Strib tells me. Don't believe your own lying eyes.

I drive through downtown Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago, and it is still the same as far as I can tell! Will be driving through downtown in June again! Might stop and walk if I see a crowd on the streets.😊

That phone survey is flawed beyond measures. Just because a phone shows Minneapolis as current location could often mean that person is actually elsewhere. One might also actually be in New York, yet the current location shows that the person is in Minneapolis. Flawed reading

I think there are Lots of People doing these Surveys that may have less experience than they are telling the ones paying them.

Hey Toronto. Don’t come into our city only to insult our city like that. Your city isn’t any better recovery wise, so why not get out of our state?
