Minneapolis organizers are canceling the long running 5 days in December Holidazzle and the July Aquatennial traditions due to downtown safety concerns and lack of foot traffic.

The decades of Democrat mayors may end soon with the election of a socialist.
Good job, Dems.

I picked Middletown because the VP is from there. He was just mouthing off about the high violent crime rate in Chicago.

Chicago has 2.721 million people, with a population density of 2.721 million.

Middletown, Ohio's population is 50,987, with a density of 1,950.61 per square mile.

It is not an astute observation that there is going to more total violent crimes in Chicago It isn't a valid comparison. Crime rate might be a better comparison. Even better,  look at individual neighborhoods in Chicago.

Chicago can have more homicides on a Saturday than Middletown has in a year, or 2 years, or 3 years.

good, good. Feel your anger! Now finish the progressives by saying "CHICAGO HAS MORE PEDOPHILES THAN THE OVAL OFFICE, SO STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES!"

Good job, Dems.

Sounds like a change in priorities for the downtown business group (i.e., shift to a winter monthslong campaign vs. a four-day event) and the need to find new leadership and partners to host Holidazzle and Aquatennial.  The group still wants to be involved in both events.

Mn also thinks Minneapolis has gone to hell under Democratic mayors in that the Metrodome hasn't had a final four in years.

I have noticed. They are focused on low crime suburban neighborhoods where they face little to no actual resistance. Yesterday, they took down a frightened 15 year old girl.

Good stuff for anyone that enjoys watching large, heavily armed masked men throw small women to the pavement.

I looked over their famous people list. It’s actually pretty impressive for a town of 52k

This take down ?

https://x.com/i/status/1977129080492638320

This is a Chicago Police arrest of a burglary suspect in 2024. I think she may have been 27 years old.
Don't burgle.

No  That was intentional misinformation from DHS liars.

Official Misinformation: A top official at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, initially posted false information online claiming the video was an old, unrelated Chicago Police Department arrest for burglary, a claim proven to be inaccurate by local police statements and video analysis.

AI Overview
A video has gone viral showing a young woman, identified as 18-year-old Evelyn (a U.S. citizen), being violently pulled from a car, thrown to the ground, and pinned face down by a federal agent in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, on Friday, October 10, 2025.

Details surrounding the incident include:

The Incident: The video, circulated widely on social media, shows unmarked law enforcement vehicles swarming a street and an agent pulling the young woman from the passenger seat of a car. She can be heard shouting, "I'm not resisting!" during the arrest. Reports also mentioned the agent appeared to place a knee on her neck.

The Context: Evelyn and her two friends were reportedly in the area monitoring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity and attempting to warn neighbors about their presence.
The Response: The woman and her friends were detained for several hours at the Hoffman Estates Police Department parking lot before being released without charges.

Agency Identification: The officer involved was wearing a vest with "ERO" (Enforcement and Removal Operations), a division of ICE, branding.

Official Misinformation: A top official at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, initially posted false information online claiming the video was an old, unrelated Chicago Police Department arrest for burglary, a claim proven to be inaccurate by local police statements and video analysis.

Local Police Statement: The Hoffman Estates Police Department confirmed that ICE agents were present in their area and came to the local police department to file a report regarding an incident that occurred during their enforcement, but stated their officers were not involved in or assisting with the immigration enforcement itself, in adherence to the Illinois Trust Act

Aftermath: Evelyn's parents have spoken out, describing their daughter as shaken by the experience, and are planning legal action. U.S. Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi has condemned the arrest and demanded transparency from the DHS.

Yep. They're changing priorities out of need.
Attendance at the 2 festivals is down because of safety concerns people have with going downtown for evening and nighttime events.
Foot traffic is down during the day.
The Downtown Council is trying to revitalize downtown. Safety concerns and reduced foot traffic forced their hand. They're going to focus on the return to work crowd and try to get them to stay downtown for whatever.

Maybe Minneapolis is just boring. SF's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival set all time attendance records.
