MoA was a big deal 20+ years ago. People would travel hours to go, often staying overnight due to the drive. Haven't heard anyone talk about going there in a very long time.

I went there about 30 years ago while in town for business. It was huge, packed, and very safe. Had a roller coaster in the center of the mall. I think it was four stories tall.

Now it's in Ilhan Omar's district and many locals say it's unsafe at all hours.
