i use to live there from 2004-2011 and i made many memories there. Its also a lot more better to live in a somali dominated community to. I went back there pre covid and everything seemed dull. I remember how the streets were full of somalis and their were suuqs.I remember there being computer labs and me and my buddy would go down there to play games. We might even have a turn to play on the xbox too. The best thing was riding our bikes around there and having a blast. I remember getting off dugsi and wed all run to the park or halal store. Also remember the women who selled jelato for a quarter in the park. It seemed so much more livelier back then. I feel alone and isolated as i live in a aparment in the suburbes where people rarely interact and is so much boring. Ill never forget living in cedar and I wish i could live it once more. But if you go back there now its full of drug junkies who hang around the streets and the elderly. Dont know why we gave up on having just a tight nit community we had like the one in cedar.
Who use to live in cedar?

I spent a summer there in the early 2000's, me and my cousins would always go outside and play. It really was special, I never interacted with so many somalis and it was a beautiful experience seeing people walking to the store wearing macawiis and baati. I also remember a masjid too

its a neighborhood in minneapolis that was predominantly somali. It was known as little mogadishu.
Back when the biggest flex in your life was your bike and how well you could ride it.
