Walking Minneapolis 4K: Bde Maka Ska and Uptown

A summer walk in Minneapolis Minnesota USA recorded on Thursday August 11, 2022. The walk starts on the north shore of Bde Maka Ska (formerly lake Calhoun). Enjoy kayakers, beaches, the pop up skate park, sailing, and walk around the under construction Bde Maka ska pavilion before seeing the twin cities sailing club. After walking along the lake we head up lake street toward uptown to Hennepin Avenue and Calhoun square (soon to be renamed seven points uptown). We then head up Girard Ave past lagoon cinema and take a look at the mozaic art park before heading up lagoon avenue and back across the north side of the lake.

As a native Central Floridian who grew up on inland lakes, I love the abundance of water in the Northern Midwest states

[@Agent77X]

Just rode around the former Lake Calhoun and several MPD cruisers parked in the paid parking lots and on the streets.😊 You can see many people walking, riding around the lake today!😊

[@walkingminnesota]

Love it! I plan to get back there and record again soon. That new pavilion is so nice! I often notice police in that area making their presence known too

I lived on Fremont Street in Uptown for almost 8 years, having moved from Southern California for a job oppotrunity. Friends thought I was nuts. I absolutely loved it. Your video brings back so much memories. Thank you so much. Fate took me back to So Cal. But who knows what the future holds.

[@walkingminnesota]

Love to hear it. Best of luck in Southern California

That’s a great video of a beautiful place. Where I grew up. Thanks very much for doing this video.

[@walkingminnesota]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. I love uptown, I plan to do more in the area this fall.

Great to hear!

[@gregerickson1969]

Thanks for sharing, a lot has changed since 1977 !!!,,,,still glad to see some of the old stuff is still around !!! what are the building over there on the shore of the lake ?

[@walkingminnesota]

Hi Greg, that’s a huge part of why I have been doing this. Things change so much over time and I love looking back and seeing what’s changed while having the ability to look back at a period of time. Hopefully I’ll have these videos to look back on in a few years The construction is the rebuilding of the pavilion that burned down a few years ago. It should be complete by next summer bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/bde-maka-ska-pavilion-construction-begins-next-week Thanks for watching

@@walkingminnesota Will you be doing any more videos ? maybe around Lake Harriet ?,,,my Grandma and great Aunt lived right by the lake,,,,!!!! I rode my Schwinn Stingray bike around both lakes many times !!,,,,,miss those days as I'm 61 now !! but if I had my old bicycle I'd do it again !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊

[@walkingminnesota]

Yeah, I try to do one a week or so. I’ll add lake Harriet to the list (actually walked around it last night but without my gimbal). Thanks for the story ♥️

Nice video, could you do some of the neighborhoods in the northeast?

[@walkingminnesota]

Yeah, definitely!

[@Agent77X]

I will be visiting this area in Uber ride!

[@AlanSenzaki]

Why are they renaming this lake and area?😮.. I was born and grew up in Minneapolis in the fifties. (Born 1944)😮

[@walkingminnesota]

I think we both know why the renamed it

[@AlanSenzaki]

@@walkingminnesota I googled it. Much belated respect to original Native Americans.🙏

[@walkingminnesota]

Very sorry for assuming you already knew. I have had a handful of people talk about it and most have been bringing it up to criticize the change. ❤️

[@walkingminnesota]

I wish he had videos like this if Minneapolis in the 50s. I would love to be taken back to that time here and see how places have changed. There are lots of great photo resources at the historical society that I appreciate

[@danb6838]

You obviously meant Lake CALHOUN ! Because that's where this was filmed!

[@kiewies]

No actually it was filmed in IOWA TERRITORY because that's what Minnesota was called before it became Minnesota

[@danb6838]

@@kiewies .......Or LAKE CALHOUN which everybody except hate-filled Democrats STILL call it! 😆

[@Liberty-rn4wy]

The bar at the 44:00 minute mark used to be a very happening place. Too bad it is closed and has graffiti on the front. It is just one sign of the decline of Uptown. That area is now a high-crime area. The McDonalds shown there has been the scene of many violent incidents. There used to be an Apple store, that is gone. A lot of the stores there are gone forever.

[@walkingminnesota]

There’s a few spots on that corner. The green room opened up a year ago and it’s a new small venue, there’s the lagoon theatre, and I’m not sure what’s on the other corner. They just redid that McDonald within the last couple of years. That block of Hennepin where the Apple Store was got hit during the riots after George Floyd and has been slow to bounce back. They are about to renovate the mall, hopefully that is able to bring the area back.

[@Achannelaboutnothing0]

You mean lake Calhoun right?!

[@walkingminnesota]

With the main purpose of this channel being a source of historical record, I try to call things by whatever the city says it is for accuracy purposes. I understand there is some sort of culture war around the name. I don’t care to take part.

[@petebusch9069]

What a joke, worst lake in Minnesota.

[@walkingminnesota]

What’s the best lake?

[@mikche1]

I live in Mini nice walk.

[@terryklinger1648]

It will always be Lake Calhoun! Woke renaming is pointless.

[@walkingminnesota]

Call it what you will, whatever it is called we will enjoy the lake 😃✌️

[@jaydee975]

Well perhaps you could get a group together and get petitions signed or run for public office in Minneapolis to get the name changed???

[@bunnybabeofficial]

@@jaydee975 i want it to be named doodoo poopie lake

[@petebusch9069]

@@jaydee975 Normal people don't waste time on stupid things like this. This was all done out of spite and you know it. Ironically this was supposed to make people like you feel better but all it did was firm up the resentment you hold so dearly.
