When do they pick the next city?
Houston?
El Paso?
St Louis?
Philly?
any city with a population over 100K?

The 508 in the photo is one of the finest steakhouses in the city. Minneapolis for a northern city is doing a pretty good job. I go to several large trade shows there each winter. No flies on Minneapolis.

I'll agree that there's some schitty areas in Minneapolis, but the Twin Cities metro area as a whole is pretty nice.

No flies on Minneapolis. Once a year we go to the RV show at the Convention Center.. But nobody goes downtown at night any more unless they're with a group and/or are heavily armed... I've never been to the "508", but if it beats "Mannys" it must be something... Too bad it's gone so far downhill - but that's mostly due to the former police chief Bosa who said, 'we don't have a gang problem in MPLS'... Yeah, right.. The stories I hear now from residents of MPLS say otherwise - and even the natives stay away from downtown after dark.. First girl I ever dated lived about 3 houses south of Dupont and Lake.. She was OUTstanding - and I still wonder if she's OK and doing well.. The TC was fun back then.. Now - not so much.. Sad, that..

I live in the burbs but I rarely go inside the loop.
If you love someone set them free
If they come back no one else liked them

I've only been to the airport and the mall, I think it was a bit better than Nigeria by comparison

Used to go to the Supercross back in the 90's every year.
Mother's friend had a place downtown - visited once. Realized I could see the parking ramp where they filmed the scene in Fargo that the old man got shot for the ransom money.
Rather not go back for any reason.

By and large all cities are schiff holes, some are just worse than others. The more liberal the city is, the worse the living conditions for the poor. Yet the dumbasses keep voting dumocrat.
Life is good live it while you can.

They used to have a buffet joint in Minneapolis called the Viking. It was good. I wonder if it is still in business.
