Part 3 in our Driving Tour of Lake Street series. This area covers the Midtown Global Market, La Hacienda Plaza, and the Colin Powell Youth Leadership Center, among other places.
In the 80s so much of this wasn't here. Midtown wasn't a ghetto but it was rough. Good to see the improvements. Wow! I left Mpls in '90. It's a totally different place now. I was there when Lake and Chicago was very dangerous at night, and when you could get a deal on tires at Sears during the day. Back then Midtown pride was nonexistent. As a former cabby, I remember how dangerous that neighborhood was. It has had a face lift and a cultural shift. Cool. bbbbbbboB
