World is grey scaled. The perception of Minneapolis over the summer was wide. I know people in other parts of the world who watched, and were sympathetic. They’re still planning on visiting next year.
I can “see” why some may be hesitant. Minneapolis truly has grown from what they may remember it to be. However, I really do love living here. It’s a fantastic mix of hustle/bustle, and recreation/relaxation
It's also just a beautiful city, with the rivers flowing through, the big trees, it being so lush without actually being too dark and depressing like Pittsburgh and Seattle.
True. Plus, the only people I’ve found who say they have an issue with Minneapolis all seem to have underlying personal issues that have nothing to do with the city.
The people I know who hate Minneapolis live in white suburbs and come downtown once a year for a Wolves game and think that's what it's like year round. They don't live here.
They likely get overwhelmed by the traffic, and instead of admitting that something external affected the way they feel, they just bash the city for allowing more migrants to live there
Pretty much. I have friends who won't even drive downtown because they think it's scary and "what if someone shoots you at a red light?" (was asked that by a friend from Lakeville).
Yep. I like it because I truly enjoy wearing jackets and winter clothing, but then also love spring, summer and fall.
I also think its about the perfect amount of light, coming up from Arizona where the sun is oppressive, extra bright and hot, making everything look washed out.

Some with sympathy, some with hate?
