Michigan is his dream job.
That is one of the Fringe benefits of Vision Zero.Honestly, I simply don't like driving through pot hole streets. Mpls is terrible and St Paul isn't much better. The infrastructure of the city seems to be breaking up. I just went to Minnehaha Falls and steps are breaking with one path entirely blocked off. The city seems to be more and more impoverished despite having some of the highest taxes. I have to ask where all those tax revenues are being spent if it's not for the infrastructure of the city.
While Mpls may be better than other larger cities, that doesn't necessarily mean its doing that well.
Is there any major city in America where "crime is not a problem"?Is crime a problem in Minneapolis?

Yes. Much like many cities.I have relatives in St Louis and the west side (specifically the north side) is bad.
Of course there are pockets of good. Like Mpls, each block will have a different vibe. One block may be neighbors bonding together while the next may be terrorized by gang violence. We humans are odd.
Renting a car?Late to the party here but to those of you familiar with Vancouver, we'll be there for a few days in September. Going to Victoria and the botanical gardens 1 day. What else would you recommend (site seeing, restaurants, bars)? Thanks in advance.
I call that "Good Times." Intro from the 70s TV show lolYeah, there are some ugly buildings like that, but recently, they’ve built many good looking ones.
When I hear Soviet era architecture I think of the fugly apartment skyrise near the UM West Bank. Is it called Cedar Riverside or something like that?
Cabrini- Green? If so, not even close.I call that "Good Times." Intro from the 70s TV show lol
Have you dropped into Little Mogadishu lately? Just get off the blue line at the Cedar/Riverside stop and walk around the neighborhood at night. Enjoy.Cabrini- Green? If so, not even close.
I am well aware that Cabrini Green was torn down. A person I knew lived in Cabrini Green's high-rise. Trust me it's not as bad as Cabrini was. Furthermore, Unless you are visiting someone at Cedar Square West, you wouldn't go there.Have you dropped into Little Mogadishu lately?

BTW, Chicago razed Cabrini Green about 25 years ago.
Honest question. Do you support the current Police chief?Yes. But any mention of it is "politically motivated."
Haha! Fumble!!!!Even better if the child was accepted.
Has crime on campus increased in recent years?Is there any major city in America where "crime is not a problem"?
There aren't many places worse than Cabrini in its day, so picking the worst and saying Mpls is good in comparison really isn't accurate to the troubles Mpls is facing.I am well aware that Cabrini Green was torn down.

BTW I have walked around there at night. I didn't have any issues, but I am a decent sized butt ugly guy.
All big cities have issues. I see more hope than I do despair.

I know you long for a debate on the 'ills' of Minneapolis. This thread was about Minneapolis being a potential recruiting tool for coach Fleck.There aren't many places worse than Cabrini in its day, so picking the worst and saying Mpls is good in comparison really isn't accurate to the troubles Mpls is facing.
If Mpls didn't have a socialist city council I might see more hope, but the council is, as I see it, the least inclusive it has been in 20 years and is moving toward abusively treating anyone who doesn't comply with their radical progressive agenda. It is sad when a liberal like Frey is being shut down for not agreeing with the radical left.

I think that many former players could help coach Fleck with that. Cheers!
Are you saying that players that plan on applying to Carlson School of Management might be interested? Public Affairs, Poly-Sci?![]()
What's Behind the Commercial Real Estate Mess in Minneapolis?
Debt savants, public officials, national experts—all are trying to sort out what went wrong.tcbmag.com
Where are all those former Gopher players living? Are there any living in the city of Minneapolis or are they living in more prosperous suburbs?Are you saying that players that plan on applying to Carlson School of Management might be interested? Public Affairs, Poly-Sci?
Or, if you're just a plain old white guy wearing a ball cap with the new Minnesota state flag on it, walk into any small-town bar 2-3 hours outside of the TC.

You might get some looks, but you won't get robbed.Or, if you're just a plain old white guy wearing a ball cap with the new Minnesota state flag on it, walk into any small-town bar 2-3 hours outside of the TC. Enjoy!
Nothing would happen. Probably stare at you and give you some crap. At least not run for your life like in MPLS.Or, if you're just a plain old white guy wearing a ball cap with the new Minnesota state flag on it, walk into any small-town bar 2-3 hours outside of the TC. Enjoy!
