A fresh start in Riverside Plaza

- The pastel panels of Riverside Plaza's high-rise apartment complex are hard to miss. Designed by architect Ralph Rapson and completed in 1973, the towers dominate the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood and are the tallest structures in Minneapolis outside of downtown. While the original plan called for 12,500 units, the plan was scaled back to 1,303 following protests by neighborhood groups.

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.
This young man has a great attitude. Hope he is doing well.
He’s dead
Wow....that hurts, am still alive yet yall str8 up wish death on me. Ain't that some shit. @ mr. john price thank you for your compliment, I appreciate it.

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.
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❤🇸🇴
Zoingo
Get a life
I lived there....back when it was stil "Cedar Square West", this shit looks like the housing projects in London or Europe!!!!
That was actually the inspiration
Lived here for 8 years
It was paradise for me as a kid...
fob i swear
Bruh. Cedar a crip Hood. You dumb asf 😂🔵
Me too now I'm in Africa for duqan elis
@@datonevon 😂😂 man that must suck
yeah probably because your parents were around all the time because no one works there
wow...I used to live there back in the dayz...i still remember everything...plus everything still looks the same.....
I was about to reply to this but it said “9 years ago” lmfao
10 years later a hell hole. I got the hell from the district and I was living by Ausburg college
Hazey Lavonne Cedar riverside is gentrification proof because any new white residents end up having to moving out because they get robbed, car jacked, beaten, stabbed, shot etc South Minneapolis will soon go the same route as north side, it will dry up and become more dangerous
@@roadrunna0075 .
Any update? Its a year later
@@Zomeone its good, living there since 2 years, never got any problems
@@Zomeone if you go to that area odds are you will be 100% fine. Lots of shops and places to get food, always some sort of community event going on as well. People who live in constant fear of danger tend to make things up in their head about how dangerous an area really is.
@@generationallyadjacent4283 cedar riverside is a housing project where gang bangers live, it’s safe there
damn!! i use to live here when i was around 8 years old yo...brings back memories..but it still looks the same..
i think you old rn
Subsidized housing should be temporary. Dont get too comfortable. This is nothing but the projects. It was designed to make people lazy
@nuur3272 No, Beverly Hills was designed to make people lazy.
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.
Little Mogadishu.
Terrell Suggs lived there
I never lived there but I lived near I remember my friends living there I left Minnesota and now it’s a dangerous place 💔
I was 14 years old at the time when I lived in Cedar riverside block
What I got upset about is when he said that "everyone on this building only pays $200 for rent because they are all on welfare. What about the speaker himself, he defenitly grew up on welfare and section 8 but yet dismisses other Somalis for getting by. He claimed to this country that he was a Somali, fleeing the civil war, but now distances himself from his true identity, which is that his Somalian. Your not Kenyan dude, as long us you have that Somali features, such as a big forehead.
Libah San-ka-taabte a big forehead is not a Somali feature bruh I'm black but live over south and have a lot of mali friends they don't got big foheads them nigga got some nice ass hair
@TheUsualSuspect: "Identity" is something you choose for yourself (unless you're stupid and let others or your past do it).
Who is here in 2022???
ya that bring back memory throwing off paper airplane from the 15 floor an watching float to park,
War tolow ma noolyahay ninkani😭😭 waba ka hele🙈
The clock doesn't work because no one needs to be anywhere
Dont be that guy mate....
Good
So is Cedar a project or just a apartment complex?
ThaKid Zay its sort of both
Nope river side is a Somali community. 95% of the people of river side are somalians
It's a project, they pay partial amounts of the rent while the rest of the money comes from people's taxes.
It’s an apartment complex. It use to be mostly broke, white artists. People who say it’s a project aren’t from Minnesota and want to associate it with poverty and violence just because Somalis live there.
@@glitch30rnd It’s considered a project/housing development lmao
@EspioArtwork Minnesota
200$ a month is to much for that shit hole
That was 13 years ago my uncle lives there he pay 1300 two bedroom
200 dollars a month and not happy ?
Wth?? What kind of pigeons are those ? 4:15?? 🤔
Half pigeon Half seagull
Riverside Plaza still the same after two decades 😆
RTSC.......we use to rule da hood back N 1995-05....still we are big out there.
LOL
Wow, you ruled a shithole
Alex F there aren’t any projects on 8 mile in Detroit. ( mostly residential) plus 8 mile is suburban and not dangerous at all😂😂💀 6/7 mile is where all the crime is at💯 Cedar Riverside is definitely more dangerous than the 8 mile strip, watch the news and go to cedar to see how it is because outsiders usually don’t anything.
Tear the crack stacks down
@@michaellagerstrom5685 only if you offer to open up your house buddy.
I was never asked if I wanted them to come and support their welfare
nobody asked to support the united states governments genocide and debt either yet here we all are crashing and burning together. You aren't special snowflake.
Lot of reer biciidyahan lives there
😂😂😂
I can literally smell this video. Good vid though.
Just imagine the smell
Hooyada was. They pay 200 a month but have all these cars ku dhayay. Qaniiska tahay was
dude even admits half people claim their on welfare but own a car wonder where my tax money is going too 🤦♂️
That's really cool. I'm really glad people from all over the world can find a place of their own here in america.
The locals aren't too happy, because all of the sudden within a generation their towns and communities look like Africa, but hey what do they matter?
Damien INSANE-O were all humans learn to accept that
@@Illumirage it don't look like Africa it looks like Somalia
@@mobmotivation6797 I never said anyone wasn't human. Doesn't mean I want my backyard radically transformed because some snobby politician thought it was best (and didn't ask teh host population) for me, and us. Gaslight harder ma'am.
@@trehanks4249 it looks like a shit hole
Are you on welfare or did you come by merit?
I came as a refugee...fast forward 17yrs later i ended up working 4 years as part of the property Resident Services Officers (security outfit) am paying the same taxes as any upstanding american and giving back to my community. Am still around doing my best to shed positive light on my community. A community that gave me my first safe haven and a sence of hope.
Forever indebted.
