Rate This City: Day 25 - Minneapolis-Saint Paul

[Alvin]

Were you actually in Minneapolis? Or a suburb? Minneapolis and St. Paul are both less than 50% white. But as soon as you hit the suburbs it's mostly white. Except Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park, I only see Black people when I'm there

they live in the suburbs, however even when we were in the city I just saw white folk.

is shyt open out there?

barely . The clubs look to be open or back in the process of opening , but some stores are gone from the riots

I’ve only been here 2’weeks, but it’s a beautiful city (Minneapolis) . St. Paul is pretty small and I don’t be over there much. I can tell it gets cold af here. I wouldn’t wanna be here in the winter.
the mall of America is huge , it got a lot of the stores in there twice. The layout and construction going on in downtown is Horrible, hate driving out here.
Women wise: finest white chicks ive ever seen, over in the Dinkytown area. That’s by the U of Minnesota. You like Africans? Go to Brooklyn Center/Park . You like Asians? They got Hmongs and a lot are curvy . You like Ethiopians? They out here and they are imo the baddest . They have mexicans and a lot of Natives here too.
Pretty much whatever you want. This area got some fine hoes

Downtown is pretty lacking, but Club Seven on 7th and Hennepin look like it be poppin.
the buildings and the layout is pretty cool though .
Imma see if I can ride down the Mississippi today

Thanks for the detailed review. Here is a rep.

I don't even like white girls but looks wise, yea MInnesota is definitely the place to be. Black women here are either gay or lacking in the looks department.

I was shocked by the diversity when I moved up here.

The pandemic killed nightlife, Downtown Minneapolis used to be CRACKIN even on Sunday nights. There was literally a club for every genre

I don't really consider it diverse. It's still over 65% white. It's still a vanilla state

South MInneapolis is still white hippies. If you wanna see black people, you gotta go over Northside or Brooklyn park/center. My issue is that it's hard to find professoinal educated blacks out here.

And oh yeah, no tax on clothes

I'm in Brooklyn Center and I only see Black people and a few Hmong and Mexicans in my neighborhood.

If you're in the Twin Cities you would have to purposely choose to hang around white people in order to really see any

what do you mean? White people dominate Twin Cities ... I’ve seen cacs and East Africans the most while I was there. That’s cuz I was at the Atriums on Hennepin and 3rd . It’s a 16 story public housing full of East Africans

Minneapolis is ranked high
Am used to seeing some bum that never been to it talk down
Between the opening of 5 star hotel,ferrari shop and million dollar condos it must be doing fairly well
They need lambo shop tho

My vote is a 7. I think it's the 2nd best city in the midwest right behind Chicago. I believe it's on par if not better than Seattle.

Pros

Quality of life
Great place to raise a family
school system k-12 top notch
largest mall in mall of america
Very liberal- the last republican that got voted as President was Nixon in 72.
All 4 sports teams
Great place for the arts(top notch museums and theaters)
Great economy- Best buy, target, United healthcare, general mills all have headquarters here.

Cons
Very white and it feels white
If you see a house with a black lives matters sign, it's a white person
Even some of the black owned business have white people working there.
No black middle class
Downtown is only booming Friday and saturday night. any other night it's a ghost town
Largest gap between blacks and white unemployment
weather- HORRIBLE. Winter can last for 6 months here and im talking single digit or negative temps
women- if you like snow bunnies, you will be in heaven. White girls here look good. Not some fat trailer park woman either. In shape, nice face white women. sistas- not so much. maybe a few gems. but most of the black women here go both ways. But i can't really judge because some brothas might have more success with black women here.
Isolated- Chicago is like a 7 hour drive. No nearby cities. you have to fly everywhere.

My advice- if you're coming from a black city like Atlanta or dc- it's a culture shock. If you're used to cities like Denver, seattle and Portland, you'll love it here. If a company offers you a high paying job to come here, take it.

Yeah a lot of us know about this place. A lot of snow out there and I’m not talking about on the ground.
