"Pretty upscale place"

This place is located in the midtown area. Very big beautiful homes,nice cars everywhere. Vincent Ave was named for Thomas M. Vincent . Who graduated from West Point in 1853 and was the assistant Adjutant General of the U.S. through the Civil War. Theres even a memorial of him right on the sidewalk infront of a cafe.

"Used to work here"

I used to work at an insurance company on this street. Its pretty busy for the most part. Other than that nothing special. But the street has a pretty good history, infact Emerson Ave was named for Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), poet and transcendentalist. Born in Boston, Massachusetts.

"It's ok nice movie theatre"

Only things this place had is Oak Cinemas and a Target. This place used to be nice, but now its old and run down. Only good thing now is the nice homes around the way. I would look here if considering purchasing a new home.

"Busy Street near Downtown area"

This street is always jam packed but the traffic patterns have been adjusted to allow better traffic flow over 3rd Ave bridges into downtown by adding new double turn lanes, and prohibiting left turns at some intersections in Northeast. Traffic signals at the Hennepin and Central intersection have been retimed and will be monitored to see if further adjustments are needed. I find this great, and it will be better for people going to work in the mornings

"Right off Vicksburg"

I lived not to far from Shenandoah and I would go there all the time because its right next to Parkers Lake,Parker Lake Park, and the Baseball Field. I would look into this place if looking for a home to raise a family. Parker Lake Park is so beautiful, nice trails for walking your dog,playground for kids, and tennis courts this is a great placw to go on weekends. I love it.

If you live by Vickburg Lane your in luck. Vicksburg Lane is a long street that can take you a myriad of places whether it be Walmart or Parkers Lake. Nice neighborhoods along this street. Great schools. Reastuarants,library,parks,Parkers Lake,stores. This is a nice place in my opinion.

Lots of shopping plazas and also fabolous restaurants and a nice Bookstore/Cafe that I go to every weekend. My favorite restaurant of all time on 21st ave is Wildwood.Its a little on the pricey side. But you will love it, this is also a good place to take a loved one or for a family dinner. This is a place you definitly want to visit sometime if you want to enjoy yourself

"I didn't like at all"

This is area with a lot of Immigrants. If you are into Latin or Asian culture food,music,etc then you will like this place. I guess it is ok, but the crime in this area is very bad. Not enough police to patrol the area also. Not a place I would raise a family in my opinion.

"Not much for you"

There isnt much on this street far as entertainment. They are building a gas station a few blocks away though so that should be nice for the traffic.

"Pretty nice I guess"

Only thing things on this street are a Target,Gas station and Papa Haydn which is a restaurant Well known for their great dessert menu with desserts including tortes, tarts, pies, cakes, gelato and sorbets, they also have an eclectic menu of chevre pate, bruschetta, smoked duck salad, grilled veal chop and salads. Also the Target is a Super Target so thats a good thing

"I like and you will like"

Also know as the Pearl District! Great restaurants,great shopping. Only thing is there were a lot of stray dogs in the parking lot of one of the plazas I was at for some strange reason. A great restaurant to visit here is Le Bouchon, its a small French bistro serving authentic French food. Look for the classics like escargots,onion soup, roasted chicken with raspberry sauce (This you have to try!),roast pork with garlic sauce, and homade desserts. Theres a Office max,Target,Mcdonalds and everything.
