I don t really think it is, but I have a friend who thinks it is. She says she s gonna take me to the geto part of Murderapolis where they don t like white people(I m white). She says they re gonna follow me and says they might jump me and take my money, phone,etc. I think that if i just go there in normal clothes, nuthin fancy, and mind my own business walkin the streets, i ll be fine. and just in case sumthin happens i m not gonna bring any i pods, phones, money or anything - just the clohtes on my back. I just laughed and said go ahead take me there. Hopefully we re gonna do this next weekend, the sooner the better. I don t think Minneapolis, St Paul, or any part of Minnesota is getto or dangerous lmao.......What do you guys think? Do you think I m being stupid by excepting this offer like my friend thinks? Will something happen to me? Or will I be just fine as long as I mind my own business? Give me honest answers don t just say i m right to make me happy i d rather hear the truth. I would put this in the travel/usa/minneapolis section but the people who run yahoo answers don t have any minnesota cities in the travel section. thanks..........What do you guys think? Am I being stupid by excepting this offer or d
I have only been to Minneapolis once (a downtown hotel), but I read an academic book about homelessness based in Minneapolis and they made the Phillips neighborhood sound like a gang-ridden crack-infested ghetto. Granted this is the the early -mid 1990 s but I would avoid that area as it probably is still dangerous.
Dont go to those places. There are bad areas in Minneapolis, there are gangs, there are high crime areas. You want to risk that, you are not thinking. I am an adult there are places there I wouldnt go even in day-time. I think they have tried to clean Hennipin Ave up, but it is still bad. Plenty of nice places to go, do that
Is it really worth trying to determine weather or not a portion of a major city is dangerous or ghetto in order just to prove a friend wrong who evidently comes from the city in question? If you are right, then nothing will happen to you, but you don t seem 100 percent sure about your safety if you have to ask this question. and if your friend is right, you might regret your decision. It s one thing to hold your head high and be brave and bold, it s another to use your head and know when brave and bold may not be enough to ensure your safety at best.
