Never been, definitely want to check it out.

I feel like it's underrated because their winters are not for the weak-hearted :damn: thus people shy away even though it has most everything you need or want from a city.

Beyond that, it seems to be a place that a breh or brehette could prosper if being around their own/a familiar culture wasn't high on the priority list.

you really met Prince? :ohhh:
He had a private party at Dakota Jazz club Downtown on Nicollet ave. His car pulled up. I was just walking up the block when he got out his car. I saw it was him. We ain't have a conversation cause he was coming for the show. I'm just glad I met him.

He turned around & waved & said hey. I wish he could've talked but he was on business when I met him. We were both working.

Only been to the Minneapolis side.
It’s cool, I’d give it a 7.
More scenic than I expected.

I want to go back and see the music scene.
A town that gave us so much good black music, I’m sure they got some shyt.
Because since we're Midwest our influences don't come from the same place. Multiple influences creates diversity.

What's the oldest African-American neighborhood in the twin cities? And is it gentrified?

Love my hometown but haven't lived there since like 04. Been said Minneapolis is the most underrated city in the country because all most black folks 'know' is 'its cold' and 'its white'. Don't get me wrong, it gets real cold and there are areas that are real white, but there's plenty of black folks and its fairly diverse. Someone else mentioned that its isolated and I think that's part of why its slept on. Ain't nobody just swinging through Minneapolis on the way to anywhere else cause aint nowhere else to be going for anyone coming from anywhere if that makes sense.

City is dope from like April through November, though I say the same thing about Chicago. Its a really beautiful city with a lot to do. I suppose if you're really looking to club it ain't the best but if you're like me and your going out means hitting up restaurants and maybe hitting a lounge or bar scene up once a month then its perfect. Real talk I've lived in Chicago/IL for years but I miss home
