Thank you! Finally a video with things in it that I'd actually want to do
Until about 10 or so years ago, Fort Snelling was a "hold" in Minnesota's land ownership records. Fort Snelling was established when Minnesota was still a territory. When the federal government granted the land to the state, it reserved ownership of Fort Snelling, and did not think to include a "springing" grant to the state in the event the fort was ever relinquished in the future. Fast forward to the 1980's, when the US military divested itself of many of its obsolete land holdings, including Fort Snelling. This left Fort Snelling as a bubble of land with no owner. Nobody figured that out until around 2015 (plus or minus), when a developer did title work on the land as part of due diligence for a potential development project. It took an act of Congress and an act of the Minnesota legislature to convey that land to the State of Minnesota.
Locals will be happy to teach you how to properly pronounce Hmong, Wabasha & Calhoun's old & new name. We have great food too & are still somewhat of a fashion test site.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which city/location would you like us to review next?
It's likely an AI-generated voice app doing the mispronouncing.
Oh YES ! My Home Twin Cities Baaaaby !
Glad to know that you love Minneapolis & St. Paul! Which spot is your favorite?
Miss downtown Mpls. Nice clean area. Great place to work and raise a family. One of the top states for Med.
I like how u started off with HMONGTOWN lol
I love going to the mall of America!!!
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing. Which city/location would you like us to cover next?
wa Bash a XD Never heard it pronounced like that wow.
6:37 Ummm... Lake Calhorn? You definitely meant Calhoun. But that doesn't matter. The lake's name is now Bde Maka Ska which is its official historic Native name and was legally adopted in 2017. And that change happened 4 YEARS before this video. So I don't quite get what is happening here.
Besides not getting what happened here, you also got your facts about the naming of the lake wrong. While the request to change the name was approved in 2017, the name was not legally changed at the state level until January 2018. The federal government did not approve the name change until June 2018.
Huh, a travel guide who cannot pronounce "Wabasha".
Can’t pronounce Hmong either
WABASHA pronounced "WABAH-SHAW"
Isn’t Fort Snelling in Minneapolis?
Neither.. separate jurisdiction
Negative
Lake Cal-HORN??? Bad AI
1988
So they have those delicious cucumber?
Wabasha is pronounced Wa-ba-shaw
Wah-Bah-Shaw
Omg, learn to pronounce the places you're speaking about! Call me, I'll teach you.
he did fine except for 'Wabasha.' It's 'Wah-bah-shaw' not 'Wa-bASH-a.'
@@jluebs Well, he also murdered Lake Calhoun at 6:37. And even worse, he did not even recognize the authentic name of the lake that was changed in 2017 to Bde Maka Ska, a couple of years before this video was posted.
Can't even pronounce Wabasha. SHM FFS.
Nobody from mN goes to any of these
May we ask why?
WRONG. This is a video for visitors. If it was for people who live here, it would have been called "Best Things to Do in Minneapolis & St. Paul for people who already live there" - Also I bet/would hope you have been to most of these places, but only once. Just like a visitor would. The only thing I've never done/been to on this list is the axe throwing... that seems very commercial/anything that could be anywhere. Not sure why that was included. If you live here and haven't been to a majority of these places, then you should go. If you're not interested, then you wouldn't go to most popular attractions in ANY city.
I live here and I find this informative
I live here and have been or go to all but one.
Speak for yourself. Only places I haven't been to are the street caves and wall of axes.
Just leave that city, never go there, unless you want to be attacked by a violent criminal which the city emboldens and comforts
Interesting, thanks for sharing this info! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I live in the west side of St. Paul just above the wabasha caves and I wouldn’t listen to some suburban conservative guy who loves to bad mouth the city.
You're right. I was just in both Minneapolis and St Paul and got attacked........ 0 times.
@@CamberRockerCamber maybe you only went to the safe neighborhoods, try going to the ghetto places and see if you get mugged or attacked this time. And hey, just because you didn't get attacked doesn't mean no one else did. Why you think crime exist there?
Ya the crime rate is dropping guy.
