We're Eric & Allison and we're on a journey to find the most interesting places and unique foods this planet has to offer! We've traded in our steady paychecks and permanent home for a life of travel and adventure. Come along and see the world with us!
My cousin lived in Minneapolis for a few years and I got to visit him in 2013. Need to note this is the most bicycle friendly city I had ever been to. Entire bike paths complete with traffic lights, separate from roadways. And the paths go around the lakes. So beautiful. Also shout out to Britt's Pub downtown!
I’ve driven by that pub and I asked my dad about it and he said that there’s a lot of pubs like that I’ve just never noticed them
Multiple dozens.
How dangerous is Minneapolis?
The overall crime rate of Minneapolis is 57 for every 1,000 residents, which makes it one of the highest crime rates in the united states. So, if you are moving, visiting, or just driving through Minneapolis, there are some areas that just should be avoided. How The Most Dangerous Cities Are Determined
@@jamesu1857 pretty on par with a lot of big cities in the US.
The murder of George Floyd in May 2020 revealed serious problems with law enforcement. In June, the Justice Department published a report about the Minneapolis’s police department, stating that it remains plagued by unlawful conduct, discrimination, and mismanagement. According to a city police spokesperson, the department has undergone a number of reforms over the past few years. In addition, a new police chief was hired last year to change the culture and narrative around policing and public safety
as a Somali, thank you guys for visiting us, we really appreciate it, thank you. btw that is birris and hlib😊😊
I have visited Minneapolis a few times, and I have to say it is a lovely city. I don’t think most people would think of it as a “destination” but I think it’s highly underrated!
its a dump!
Saw this on my YT feed, and as a Minnesotan, it truly is underrated. Glad that these folks had a great time!
It’s not a nice place whatsoever- I live about 30 minutes away from it but I never go down there unless i gotta be on a airplane. It’s trash
@@char2cool4you..I live there so I am actually very familiar with it. Not trash at all.
@@brandogeberbin7563how?
I’ve loved here my entire life and Minnesota is definitely amazing! You guys absolutely have to come up to Northern Minnesota. The North Shore- Lake Superior, Duluth, Split Rock Lighthouse, the Brainerd Lakes Area etc are all unbelievable! Great job showcasing Minneapolis though! Super fun!
I also live in Minnesota I love going up north (I live in St. Paul) and wanted to know if you have ever gone to mall of America you can just like my replie if you have
Can't forget Ely and the Boundary Waters!
North Shore is amazingly beautiful! I kind of hope too many people don't "discover" it!
My HOMETOWN!! I am Somali, grew up in Minneapolis and had my children there. Same hospital, went same school. I wouldn’t trade anywhere else! Thank you so much. We have been most of the places you’ve been. I Also recommend biking and Minnehaha Falls❤
I've lived in Minneapolis all my life. Been to everything you did a few times. You missed First Avenue that was made famous by Prince. Downtown Minneapolis is a ghost town after the Pandemic. A lot of companies went to remote or a hybrid work place and never looked back. I love all of our State Parks, hiking trails and lakes. The winters are actually mild and only a week or two where going outside physically hurts but you can always go farther North for more cold. I'd recommend Duluth and the North Shore. You will see a lot of Scandinavian influence all over Minnesota but a lot more as you go North. You will hear where the Movie Fargo got the accent from when you go to the North Shore. We also have a large Hmong population and the food is outstanding. Thank you for all you do! The B-Roll filming and editing was some of the best tourist videos I've seen.
I'm from NJ. Moved there in 1990 for 2 years. Worked at the Nankin. Lived there when Mall of America was being built. I loved living there!
@@nancyreichenbach2938 I worked at First Ave from 91 - 98. Saw everyone from Pearl Jam to Ice Cube. Nirvana was $5 a ticket.
Terrible city for diversity. Snow bunnies everywhere that are not curvy and are passive aggressive.
Great example of how organized and clean white cities are. Austin will surpass it in about 15 years as a more diverse, warmer, larger version. The Vikings colors are terrible and women drive craxy asf during winter..
The FIRST bridge built crossing the Mississippi River was the Hennepin Avenue Bridge which was rebuilt several decades ago.
Thank you for that Great Video ! I am 68 years old and grew up in Mankato Minnesota ,moved to Minneapolis in 1976 to attend the University of Mn.
I moved to Arizona in 1991, had a wonderful career in Real Estate and am now ready to retire and move back to Awesome Minnesota ! Yes I do plan to be a snowbird and leave during the cold winter months. My fondest memories are riding my bike around Lake Calhoun (now a differant name) with my boom box and headset listening to Awesome tunes ! What a beautiful City Lake ! Shortly after the Walkman was invented, I got the Toshiba brand and enjoyed Incredible Fun listening to tunes in my headsets while riding my bike around Lake Calhoun ! Mineapolis has so many Fantastic restaurants and pizza places pointed out in the video. One that comes to mind is the Leaning Tower of Pizza I believe at Lake and Lyndale still in business today ! I just have so many fond memories of Minneapolis and can't wait to get back and explore and see what is new ! The Culture, Theater, Art, Music scene, as well as the first class restaurant variety and cuisine are second to none ! The beauty of the City with all of its Gorgeous Lakes are Spectacular ! Thank you for reading and I can't wait to get my first Jucy Lucy that I didn't know about in the 70's !
That glass fish at the Weisman used to be in the Sculpture Garden! I had no idea the Weisman had it now. I'm also very amused that the apartment hallway art piece is still there. I used to go and see that when I went to school at the U back in the mid 90s! The architect of the museum is Frank Gehry, who also did the Guggeneheim in Spain and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. His style is very famous and it's a really big deal to have one of his buildings here. If you see the Weisman at sunset, the colors reflect off the building. It's very cool.
As the CEO of The Silver Fox Gang I approve of Erics application for membership. A few more years and I think Alison can walk proudly with a full member on her arm!
As a person from the twin cities, y’all did a great job exploring what we have to offer. Also the spoon and the cherry sculpture is a “mini apple” spin-off of the big apple (NYC) and the spoon represents ice cream for the cold winters 😊
I was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota!!!! But when I was a baby we moved to California, SO I THANK YOU for showing me where I was born!! BEAUTIFUL PLACE!!! HUGS/LOVES!!!!
I visited Minneapolis in 2018 for a work trip and fell in love. I had the most amazing time there. I was walking distance to the sculpture garden, a huge park, downtown, and the river. I’ve wanted to go back and take my family.
Minneapolis is such a great city - next time check out the music scene! Some guy named Prince is from there.
If you ever get back to Minnesota can I suggest Stillwater, its the birthplace and IMO one of the most beautiful places in the world. Especially in the fall! Also Duluth in the fall. I cannot suggest enough to come visit in fall ❤❤
I'm Dutch, and way back in 2001 I've been more up north of Minnesota, I recommend Duluth, very nice with a big harbour, I loved it.
Hi guys...I was born in Southern Minnesota, where I came back to Retire in my Small Town of Clarks Grove. I lived in the Twin Cities for 22 years. I was up in Brooklyn Park and Champlain.ive never seen another City that is Well taken care of, than Minneapolis!!!
Beautiful City to live in!!!
What year did you graduate, 76 from Anoka
Before graduating from Dordt college my roommate from Minneapolis invited me to his place. Beautiful City and the people are pleasant with a sence of humor . My first plan of action is to take my daughter to the art meusem . 😅
It's hard to beat a good northern bar burger. I miss them! I love that you always eat at local places, and give them national exposure. Well done!
Same. But Matt’s is famous already and Obama even stopped by a few years back so they’re ok lol. 😂
I’m curious to where you camped in Minneapolis and the name of the Somali restaurant.
@@nancyz1728 yes they should have named the Somali restaurant to support them
@@jj-if6it I did find it in the show notes later.
You'd be welcome in any establishment with a haircut like that Eric. Some of my ancestors led by master-mason Alfred Jones commuted to Mn/St Paul from North Wales at the turn of the 19th/20th century because of the demand for experienced masons. His two sons stayed there, but Alfred's wife missed home so he returned and died in Halkyn, Flintshire. He'd previously helped build Halkyn Church, along with the "marble church" in St Asaph and St George's Hall in Liverpool.
I have lived In mn my whole life n always have been so thankful I grew up in such a cool area
Hello my fellow Minnesotans 👋
I remember the movie The Cube, it was cool!! Love Minneapolis!!
You missed out on so many things here in Minnesota but Im not gonna lie I’m kind of glad you did because your videos get a lot of views which means more people would be showing up to the best places for summertime.
Those sky bridges are genius!! They keep pedestrians safe and out of the weather. All cities should have them. 👍
skyway. 🙄
The skyways really aren’t safe at all, lots of crime there. But I can see how they look like great ideas in theory!
Grew up in Minneapolis suburb but have been living up in Fargo/Moorhead area for the last 22 years. Your visit touched my heart. I remember when they first started building the amazing downtown skyway...when the IDS tower opened (and dwarfed the Foshay)...and when the sculpture garden was first opened. (Ya, I am old.) Thanks for the visit. :)
So happy to see y'all making a stop in our lovely city! It's a shame the vehicle troubles shortened your time. We do indeed have a LOT of amazing breweries that are well worth a visit. And for good restaurants to check out, I'd recommend Red Cow for amazing burgers and Smack Shack for a great casual seafood spot!
Waitress: “make a little bite, you don’t want cheese all over you.”
Eric: CHOMP
Whoops.
🤣🤣 exactly!
Eric doesn’t know what a little bite is 😅
Yay, Minneapolis finally! My home city. The food there is so much better than people realize.
The cutting of the burger triggered me. 😂
@@jennyzielke7642SAME AND I DONT EVEN LIKE THE BURGERS
I love my home so much. ❤. There is SO much more in our city. The Guthrie is a place I would try to visit on your next visit. And I highly recommend a concert in Orchestra Hall. I also love the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
Both 5-8 Club and Matt’s Bar claim to be the original Lucy Burger. 5-8 has been open longer. I love both!
Bummer you missed the Foshay! I also love to stop and grab a drink at the bar just below the observation when i happen to be around there. Cool decor and great views at night. Maybe come back late summer, hit the state fair -MUST- and then go up to a VRBO on a lake next time -ALSO A MUST. (Besides family/friends, the lakes are what keep me in this state despite the cold winters 🥶.) Bonus, you could also catch a Vikings preseason game in the new stadium.
Great to see you traveling.
Brilliant video ❤
Nice job covering our city!🎉
It was fun to see what you chose to include. You did such a great job with the snapshots between the narrative segments. I'm sure you will make it back sometime, bc there is so much more to enjoy!
Happy trails! Take good care of yourselves and yours!
Lovely video both 🥰🥰
I love staying in and around the suburds of Mpls. I feel safe. Lots of fun things to do and good places to eat. Very family friendly in West metro
The food looked amazing! More please...
Have fun be safe. 😊
My goodness you two get around. Thank you once again for an amazing tour. Thoughts and prayers to both of you.
Oh my! The camping possibilities in Minnesota for you two are endless! You have to go to Itasca State Park and walk across the beginnings of the mighty Mississippi River. Northern Minnesota is so beautiful. But, bring industrial-strength bug spray because the mosquitos are the size of Cessnas! And don't forget the deer flies. Other than that, it's beautiful!
Thanks for showcasing our city. Great job
My gorgeous hometown! Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
Glad you had a good time in my city!
Love it when you do these info videos. You do them so well. You inspire me to travel there and I thank you for that.
I love art and architecture
Love Minneapolis!!
Really nicely done, cheers
Cheers to Minnesota. We ROCK!
We watch a good few RUclips channels and honestly, you guys are the best when it comes to videography, editing and storytelling. You consistently put out excellent content. When we discovered you, we went back and have watched your entire back catalogue now. You’ve learned and improved constantly. On top of that, you come across as solidly decent people. Thank you!
Minnesota looks so chilled! So unexpected, and more European than other parts of the US. Thank you for sharing 😊
I grew up here, left for the East Coast for too long and ended up back here because it rules. You should visit sometime!
Watch out for the carjackers though - seriously
@@duckypamFOR REAL
Minnesota can be chilled but not Minneapolis to be honest Minneapolis is just a train wreck at this point. 😂
@@char2cool4you..it’s really not…. My guess is your over 55 and just hate on stuff because you’re old and bored. The crime rate is relatively low in comparison. The walk ability and bike ability in the city is literally among the top in the country. Also it’s relatively affordable. And has tons of jobs.
So excited to see an RV couple highlight our home city finally! Cool to see Minneapolis from your perspective.
I love that city, I was there last year and I really want to go there one more time.
I miss that beautiful city.🥺😍
Felt like this was one of your best videos in a long time. Loved the opening monolog. Cute, funny, informative. Made me want to travel to Minneapolis.
Eric bless you and your family. Sending you prayers for strength and health. Love your videos. Love you two!!❤
Wow, you guys find the coolest places! Safe Travels Always. 😊
That server at Matt's Bar has been there forever and she runs the whole restaurant and is incredible at her job. Hope you left a good tip!
Y’all are fun! Great video. Would love to visit there!
Thank you both for the video
You guys always have the best, most unique intros! So cool to see the spoon bridge with cherry still looking awesome! We took a family vacation there 6-6-06 and I’ll never forget the people dressed like demons with horns walking down the street🫣😂. Body wars was so cool and the now closed Izzy’s ice cream! Loved the video🍒
I love watching your videos. You are so upbeat and fun. Catch you on your next adventure. Keep on, keepin’ on!!
Come back to Eau Claire again soon. You'll be surprised by how much it has changed, and for the better!! It's because of the video that y'all did here that I watch travel vlogs at all. Thanks for starting a true addiction❤😊
Yay you finally made it my home state!
Soo happy you went to MN!!! Miss my home state so much and was so happy to see a bit of it. Yes, go back to MN and see some more when you get the chance!
I grew up about 4 hours outside of Minneapolis and went to school there! It’s so great to see you visit all the places that I saw growing up!
Wawooooooo it's amazing job dear friend thanks for a beautiful sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
these are episodes i liked you for !
Awesome videography in this one! You made me ridiculously hungry and my lunch or dinner wont compare.
Lovely to see you both 😊 what an amazing city i bet there plenty more for you to see
Sure you be back again at some point 😜.
Safe travels looking forward to hearing what you got planned next. Take care 🥰
Great video.
The Skyway system is way cool. At lunch time in the winter, you take the elevator down to the second floor and leave your jacket at the office and you can get anywhere. I used to live across the street from a building on the edge of downtown. Just had to make it there and I could walk to work indoors. There used to be only two apartment buildings on the skyway (Churchill and 110 Grant), but in the last 20 years they've built a lot more. They also have a Target with groceries so in theory you could live, and work downtown and never have to go outside for an entire winter!
First, the hair cut is great. Thank you both for putting together such an awesome post. Have a beautiful day.
I used to go to Matts and pick up burgers and fries back in the 60.s when Matt himself was making them behind the bar.
Wonderful! During the video, I was able to relive some of the happiest times with my mom when she was teaching at the University of MN and lived in a condo looking across that bridge. Thank you so much.
tons of rooftop bars in minneapolis. good food. summer is fun in the city.
Aw man you guys really make me miss my city. Too bad you didn't go last year when I was actually there. Hope you guys enjoy your time in the best state in the country!
Love from Colombia
I know really want to go explore this city, looks like a awesome trip.
Ya-haaaas! I've never been more excited to watch a video more in my life!
Minnesotan here! Born and raised in MPLS! That sure was fun seeing all of that on RUclips! 😊
Sooo awesome epik video
It's a gloomy, rainy day here and your videos are always so comforting! 🌧
Glad to bring a little sun and fun to your day 🙌
Excellent FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR reference!!!
I adore you two! I have enjoyed each and every one of your videos. ❤
Nice haircut!! Glad you enjoyed the Twin Cities. Safe travels back South.
Glad you two enjoyed the city! Saint Paul is also a very fun city to check out. I would definitely recommend making a trip up to the Minnesota North Shore when you have a chance!
I always liked how the second floor of the buildings where you travel from skyway to skyway is like it’s own little city with retail, dining and services.
Thank you for sharing this journey with me. Mucho Love From Your Friend In Michigan Tam 💜💜
hi guys I always look forward to your videos. love yo .
Great video!! I am so glad that you were able to visit my home state. You definitely do need to return and head up to the North Shore which is along Lake Superior. Or, spend a few days canoeing in the Boundary Waters which has pristine lakes. Definitely a lot to do/see if and when you return! Love the channel!
Being a Minnesotan and growing up in the cities I’m so happy you hi-lighted Minneapolis but as you said there is so much to do in Minnesota and it depends on the season too. Definitely need to try to give a go in winter too. Safe travels!
Minneapolis in the winter have you lost your marbles we should try it in the winter😂.
You can go ice skating on the lakes, cross country skiing in our many parks, sledding, go ice fishing, we even have lots of down hill skiing, especially along the river bluffs, snowmobiling, snow shoeing, the list goes on!
Minnesota for a winter visit only makes sense if you're into skiing, icefishing, pond hockey, etc. Or if you're doing business. I live there and winters can be long and miserable; like this last one. I won't sugarcoat it.
@@d.r.martin6301 I completely agree this last winter was long and brutal 😂
How dangerous is Minneapolis?
The overall crime rate of Minneapolis is 57 for every 1,000 residents, which makes it one of the highest crime rates in the united states. So, if you are moving, visiting, or just driving through Minneapolis, there are some areas that just should be avoided. How The Most Dangerous Cities Are Determined
The juicy Lucy from The Nook in St Paul is my favorite. I prefer it to Matt’s Bar
We'll have to try it next time! 🍔
The nook LMAO
@@bubbafats6246I AINT NEVER HEARD OF THAT 😂
Wish you could have stayed longer in Minnesota, there is so much more to see and do.
Glad you guys enjoyed my city!
Hope you guys are doing well ❤ Sorry about the tough times you guys are going through :(. Still making great content! We would love to go here, we have heard GREAT things about Minneapolis!
You guys really should make your way to Chattanooga one day. I know you would love it. Amazing and accessible hiking, so many breweries, and just an all around cool city!!! I live there and would love to see y’all’s take on the city!
Hey Eric looking good with your new haircut!
Safe travels to u both❤
Incredible Video! I feel like you cover a wide range of amazing things the city has to offer.
Also please do a US States scratch off map update! please :)
It was so quiet downtown because so many people work from home now. Downtown is kind of empty compared to what it once was. It picks up on weekends when people are going to the theater or some of the clubs. There's a lot of debate in Minneapolis right now as to what to do about it.
It's kinda the same here in Toronto.
Denver, too. I say turn those office buildings into affordable condos. Offer a tax incentive for it. Solve two crises at once.
Best way to eat a Jucy Lucy is to let it sit and snack on the fries for about 3-5 minutes and take a small bite of the burger and dip your fries into the cheese. I grew up in Minneapolis and people who visit are always surprised at the temperature of the cheese even after the server gives them the warning.
I must say I love you guys and I really enjoyed watching you build your RV. The whole series was awesome and I looked forward to every episode. Watching you eat and drink not so much.
This Minnesota gal, currently living in Missouri, loves that you went to Minneapolis. I am originally from Minnesota, and I have lots of family there. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to spend much time in the twin cities as an adult. I need to rectify that. I do go home to the Mille Lacs lake area when I can. When you get back up to Minnesota, I would recommend a trip up the north shore of Lake Superior. The boundary waters areas are fantastic as well. I am sharing your video with my Minnesota family. I'm sure they will be familiar with the places you went. Looking forward to your next video.
