Yes, that's really neat! I wish they'd do the same for Atlanta, now.

I have used streetview and bird's view on http://maps.live.com/

They are great but where should someone who has never been to Minneapolis start to look?

Im just making a point that minneapolis averages 45 homcides a year around 12.0. That isnt **** thats basically average for a city over 250,000. they had 57 last year and thats the highest in a long time and the 99 in 96' is only around 20.0, what most bad cities average now not at there highest.

people from minnesotta have never seen a real hood or ghetto so they think some weak ass hood in the north of the city is like detroit. yall wish
Whats your point? Anyone who considers a real "hood" to be a desirable quality in a city is a moron. It doesnt earn you a rep, it just means you're either too poor or too stupid to leave.

Yeah, when I first moved to the Minneapolis from California the city felt very safe to me from my perspective. After ten years, though, I found that there are certain neighborhoods that I wouldn't feel comfortable walking through at night.

The Icy River Vagabond...M504 is right. The people in Minneapolis don't know how good they got it until they have been to the neighborhoods of Detroit. I'm a Detroit native who have lived in Minneapolis and St.Paul so I have seen both areas and believe me the bad parts of the twin cities is like Disneyland when you compare that to Detroit's worst Hoods like 7mile, Brightmoore or Del Ray. Almost all of Detroit is in ruins and abandoned with crackheads and hookers roaming the area like Dawn of the Dead.

Wow! The house I moved out 20 years ago is still unchanged! But when did all those skyways pop up? They are so ugly!! Tear 'em down

And yeah, I guess MPLS is very safe. Now I live in a Texas smalltown, and the number of murders and assaults and the size of the ghetto areas makes you think you're in a third world country compared to Minneapolis.

Never mind. Post deleted because there is a difference between Google Maps and Google Earth!

I just had a temporary "DUHH" moment!

Default whats with m504

m504 i dont give a damn about detroit. why are you so concerned with the twin cities. do you live in north minneapolis. do you know that most of minneapolis dosent have hardly any murders. and do you know of the 45 murders that 30 of them are in a small area in north minneapolis where they are over lapping each other. thats a bad neighborhood i dont care what you say. detroit im sher is bad all over and im sorry you have nothing else to talk about then that when it comes to your city. i do know minneapolis is making more money then detroit. i know that its sad for you to know that minneapolis has less then 400,000 people and we have a bigger downtown then detroit. and that we have better clubs downtown then detroit and we out do detroit in just about everything. i dont think that the majority of people that live here complaine about the crime rate. are you such a loser that all you do is go aroung this forum into differant cities and tell them how much worse detroit is?
