The pastel panels of Riverside Plaza's high-rise apartment complex are hard to miss. Designed by architect Ralph Rapson and completed in 1973, the towers dominate the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood and are the tallest structures in Minneapolis outside of downtown. While the original plan called for 12,500 units, the plan was scaled back to 1,303 following protests by neighborhood groups.

Worked on this shit hole a year ago & watched a woman get beaten by a man under the school, the same day that morning the security told us that someone has been stabbed at 5am and the next day someone robbed Amazon packages from the lobby.

I used to work for a wholesale restaurant supplier and had a regular account (pizza place) about a half a mile away from here. I was waiting to get an invoice signed one day and noticed the bulletin board by the phone banks. It had a memo on there from the owner saying no more deliveries to Riverside Plaza at any time of day, all orders from Riverside Plaza had to be picked up. Reason was because too many drivers had been beaten and robbed in the complex. This was right around the time this video was filmed.

What I got upset about is when he said that "everyone on this building only pays $200 for rent because they are all on welfare. What about the speaker himself, he defenitly grew up on welfare and section 8 but yet dismisses other Somalis for getting by. He claimed to this country that he was a Somali, fleeing the civil war, but now distances himself from his true identity, which is that his Somalian. Your not Kenyan dude, as long us you have that Somali features, such as a big forehead.

Alex F there aren’t any projects on 8 mile in Detroit. ( mostly residential) plus 8 mile is suburban and not dangerous at all😂😂💀 6/7 mile is where all the crime is at💯 Cedar Riverside is definitely more dangerous than the 8 mile strip, watch the news and go to cedar to see how it is because outsiders usually don’t anything.
