I like the looks of Minneapolis. It has everything a city needs, including sports teams. Too bad I couldn't see more of the downtown, like catching a glimpse of Target Field--I did see a glimpse of Target Center and US Bank Stadium. Thank you for that.

Nice tour of Minneapolis MN

[@allisonoconnor8055]

Embarrasse, MN is way colder. Weird I now live in NE MN and no ❄️.😮 Record breaking 😂

[@matthearne4849]

Thank you for sharing this post, Mike! I've lived in Minneapolis for 25 years until 2020. The architecture of this city is simply stunning. Also, there are many parks, bike paths, and lakes for the outdoor enthusiast. Additionally, it's great to have a major international airport with plenty of non-stop destinations. However, the winters here are too cold and the taxes too high. Hopefully, I am wrong, but I believe this area has seen much better days. In my opinion, the city's renaissance is gone. There is no longer any mojo here. I lived here during a period of excitement, when there was a tremendous amount of celebration and progress. As I view this video, I see a much more subdued downtown.

at one time i recall hearing it actually held prestige as THE SAFEST big city in the USA... not anymore though 8^(

[@ryanearles2024]

​@@efil4kizumAgreed. Ever since George Floyd's death and the BLM Riots that followed, including the calls to Defund the Police, in which the Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey did, the city went downhill ever since. Same thing with cities like Portland, OR, San Francisco, New York, Boston, etc.

[@matthearne4849]

@@efil4kizum You are on point there. I have friends who normally work downtown and will not travel there, because they are too nervous about the crime in the skyways and on the streets. It's terrible.

@BlackwoodMorgan I’m only sharing my opinion. You are certainly entitled to your own. Thanks.

[@efil4kizum]

@BlackwoodMorgan I would find it stunning for mileage mike to revisit this at ground zero winter when temperatures are in the serious negative area to show what the coldest big city (pop +400k) looks like then

[@awckid3]

I lived on 3rd Ave South in the early nineties. I worked downtown at the Dayton's department store's lower level (The Marketplace-Leann Chin). Good memories and good food!

Mike, according to your Community Post, you're in Wisconsin, may I ask what is your projected path at this point in terms of filming?

[@MileageMikeTravels]

Chicago > St. Louis > Indianapolis. Haven’t decided exactly after that yet.
