A fresh start in Riverside Plaza 

This young man has a great attitude. Hope he is doing well.

Worked on this shit hole a year ago & watched a woman get beaten by a man under the school, the same day that morning the security told us that someone has been stabbed at 5am and the next day someone robbed Amazon packages from the lobby.

Lived here for 8 years It was paradise for me as a kid...

I lived there....back when it was stil "Cedar Square West", this shit looks like the housing projects in London or Europe!!!!

Born in Minneapolis. Never thought the same house I was born into would become one of the most feared places in Minneapolis for somalis to live in. Love to all my somalis❤🇸🇴

I used to work for a wholesale restaurant supplier and had a regular account (pizza place) about a half a mile away from here. I was waiting to get an invoice signed one day and noticed the bulletin board by the phone banks. It had a memo on there from the owner saying no more deliveries to Riverside Plaza at any time of day, all orders from Riverside Plaza had to be picked up. Reason was because too many drivers had been beaten and robbed in the complex. This was right around the time this video was filmed.

damn!! i use to live here when i was around 8 years old yo...brings back memories..but it still looks the same..

wow...I used to live there back in the dayz...i still remember everything...plus everything still looks the same.....

10 years later a hell hole. I got the hell from the district and I was living by Ausburg college

Man I remember that area back in the 90s

Subsidized housing should be temporary. Dont get too comfortable. This is nothing but the projects. It was designed to make people lazy

What I got upset about is when he said that "everyone on this building only pays $200 for rent because they are all on welfare. What about the speaker himself, he defenitly grew up on welfare and section 8 but yet dismisses other Somalis for getting by. He claimed to this country that he was a Somali, fleeing the civil war, but now distances himself from his true identity, which is that his Somalian. Your not Kenyan dude, as long us you have that Somali features, such as a big forehead.

I visited Minneapolis and decided to check the city out. I got off at the Cedar Riverside station on the light rail and I have to say, it is like being in a different country. Everybody needs a place.

War tolow ma noolyahay ninkani😭😭 waba ka hele🙈

I never lived there but I lived near I remember my friends living there I left Minnesota and now it’s a dangerous place 💔

The clock doesn't work because no one needs to be anywhere

Terrell Suggs lived there

Who is here in 2022???

ya that bring back memory throwing off paper airplane from the 15 floor an watching float to park,

I can literally smell this video. Good vid though.

I was 14 years old at the time when I lived in Cedar riverside block

Reminds me of Cabrini Green. Not because of the people its the structure itself.

Riverside Plaza still the same after two decades 😆

200$ a month is to much for that shit hole

I was never asked if I wanted them to come and support their welfare

So is Cedar a project or just a apartment complex?

200 dollars a month and not happy ?

Thats a projects looks like the projects on Good Times they tore that place up once the college Rich kids left

Wth?? What kind of pigeons are those ? 4:15?? 🤔

That's really cool. I'm really glad people from all over the world can find a place of their own here in america.

dude even admits half people claim their on welfare but own a car wonder where my tax money is going too 🤦‍♂️

These Buildings use to be so beautiful until the city of Minneapolis let all of these Somolians and favored them over original citizens throughout South Minneapolis !!!!

@EspioArtwork Minnesota

Lot of reer biciidyahan lives there

Good

RTSC.......we use to rule da hood back N 1995-05....still we are big out there.

SLUM SKYSCRAPER

Just imagine the smell

Are you on welfare or did you come by merit?

Hooyada was. They pay 200 a month but have all these cars ku dhayay. Qaniiska tahay was
