MSP long layover.
Had one a couple days ago, first in a few years. The area is seriously sketchy. Reminds me of BWI before we made the move to Annapolis. It took 2 crew members getting seriously injured in attacks to effect that change.
We left downtown CLT when it deteriorated.
There’s gotta be a better area outside of the inner city in MSP with the amenities we need.
I did FCR it, FWIW.

I used to live there, I still like the layover. Some really good food walking distance but I’d be fine with a hotel 1/2 mile or mile in another direction.

"Chinatown" - Great! Let's get some authentic Chinese food and some kitschy gold plastic cats that wave one arm! (Also a good movie, but "Big Trouble in Little China" was more fun)
"Little Italy" - Fantastic! Authentic Italian foods with Peroni and cured meats! Mamma Mia!
"Little Mogadishu" - OMG that so racist!
(Project much?)

Classic, the "I saw that thing on the news crowd" and "too many of those people" types scared of a little diversity and not being close enough to an Irish pub.

They literally have a congressional representative from Mogadishu. This isn't some crazy racist fox news stereotype. It's just a fact.
