IDS Center — Attraction in Minneapolis

Today they were filming a documentary there the security guys told me that the skyway was closed and I said well it's open to the public it's public and so they wanted to argue whether the IDS center is publicly owned or privately owned and they seem to want to gang up on me so American Security is probably not the best company because they hassle people who work there yet I get panhandled by the same two individuals and they do it aggressively and they do it every day but the thing is beware they profile people if you have a backpack you have a good chance of being harassed unless you're with a group of people.

There are local art exhibits on display quite often and if you need an ATM you are in luck as there are many of them available right there. I'd say it's a must see if you're visiting from out of town as it is in the iconic IDS building, but it is not a place you can expect to spend hours wandering around. It's good for a quick visit and maybe a meal, but it's not a major attraction filled with tons of...
