I really liked visiting this neighborhood. There is nothing like walking down 3rd Ave at night, when Block E is all lit up, activity is stirring and someone undoubtedly is being kicked out of a bar. The local restaurants are a nice place to sit down and enjoy some classy stylish eating without paying the “classy” prices. If you are a Christian, there is a nice variety of churches to meet your praying needs. The only things that make this a good place to visit and not live are the fact that the public transportation is almost non-existent for a major metropolitan and the cost of living is too darn high.
In defense of the transportation, I come from Chicago where there is a bus on every corner. So being in a major city where all there are a handful of buses and the ever-loving light rail (which goes from downtown mpls to Mall of America in Bloomington) is less than impressive.
I personally like living in the burbs better (Richfield) the cost of living is better. You can usually get a 1 br for only 600-650 and its quieter and more family oriented.
