Downtown Minneapolis Walking Tour

What's downtown Minneapolis like in 2022? Watch and you'll see!
In this video, we'll take a walk through a large section of downtown Minneapolis on a sunny day in October 2022.
We'll start on Marquette Avenue near the W Hotel (Foshay Tower), walk through the Crystal Court at the IDS Center, down Nicollet Mall past the Mary Tyler Moore statue, past the Dayton's block, through the theater district, past First Avenue Nightclub and Target Center, and down into [what's left of the] warehouse district.
The early 2020s have not been great years for Minneapolis, and as you'll see in this video, unfortunately, the downtown office and entertainment areas aren't quite what they used to be. In fact, as I walked through the streets on a warm Friday evening I couldn't stop asking myself, "Where have all the people gone?"

Looks like temperature in the high 50s- 60s! Most are walking with a jacket on. Zeros snow! 67 degrees?🤭 I remember downtown when it was booming just a couple of years ago.😊

I was in Minneapolis 22 years ago on a ball park tour when I went to the MetroDome. I still remember the multitude of skyways and I do remember how vibrant the city was in July. I will be back this week, this time to see Target Field. I am hoping that it is a little bit more vibrant the next few days. But it still looks like a nice city. Thank you for taking the time to shoot the videos.

On my bucket list to visit since The Mary Tyler Moore Days! In December 2022, for my birthday, I finally made it! Fell in love with the city and people! I was able to visit all the outside filming sites of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which literally placed Minneapolis on the map! I have been a fan since my youth! I also visited The Guthrie Theater and watched A Christmas Carol. What an amazing play! Got to tour The Gold Medal Factory and walk Stone Arch Bridge in the snow!!! Overall, Minneapolis, you stole my heart!

Was down (well up) there a few days back. Went to 1st Ave. Took a pic in front of the Prince mural. Downtown was empty, and it seems that a lot of the restaurants closed for a good chunk of time around lunch. Beautiful place. Rode the train back to St. Paul. Went to some charity baseball game in St. Paul, where y'all football team played baseball against each other. Not sure what it was for but it was a great event. Everyone was friendly. Couldn't believe the cigarillos were $5 for 1 pk. Here in South Texas they're $0.99!

yes we do. He wasn't anywhere near where there is a problem. The crime, theft, and vandalism is so bad target is closing its downtown store. HE doesn't cross the bridge into little mogadishu. He avoids the government center, stays out of the parks, and is there in the afternoon. 3 hours later murders, rapes, muggings, car jackings homeless take over. Downtown Minneapolis is a joke.

Looks really dead there now. I went up in that skyscraper as it's very historic and 5 years ago there were a lot more people around that block. I hear tons of businesses have left. Really sad. I really liked the city. This looks a lot like other major cities in the US. Sacramento which I visited for a week looked even worse than this. Oddly New England cities like Boston are busier than ever now. Hear its the same in Portland Maine. Really weird country we live in.

@Agent77X Жыл бұрын

Two reason: 1. No shopping anymore, retailers have shut their doors due to lack of customers traffic, 2. High crime at night time hours 10 P.M.-3 A.M😂 discourage citizens from visiting downtown during daytime hours. The local news outlets are still hiding the daily crimes and help the local politicians with the message that the city is coming back campaign started back in January 2021 and continuing on. They seem to have forgotten that many people get their news through social media and local message forums now. They do not watch the local news.

I think rent prices there are up 33% from before Covid. All the west coast cities are ghost towns. Guess it's the same in the midwest.

Minneapolis used to actually have some unquie personality, it lost alot of that when Daytons became Marshal-Feilds/Macys, also it didn't help that a bunch of transplants have helped turn it into just another generic city, outside of going to a Twins Game or Vikings game, there is no reason to be downtown or in Minneapolis in genereral. The whole place is unsafe and dosen't offer anything wothwhile anyways.
