Exotic Car Meetups - Stone Arch Bridge
Since I’ve lived here (late 2025), almost every night and especially on the weekends a group of Somalian men (probably age 18-30) meets up on the Marcy Holmes side of the Stone Arch Bridge next to Father Hennepin Bluff Park. Vehicles range from Mustangs, BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, and sometimes motorcycles. They will rev engines, do burnouts, donuts around the roundabout, honk horns randomly for 30+ minutes, and drive on to the bridge when the barricades weren’t there, and drive down the walking path that goes to the University.
Called the cops a few times and Park Police will respond within 45 minutes and run them off in many instances. It has gotten to the point where a patrol car is regularly parked at the roundabout at night. It’s funny because the sports cars come back every night and turn around back up Sixth Ave or sometimes I have seen them circling the patrol cars like sharks?? It’s really strange. Reminds me of a GTA 5 server at times.
I am sure this is happening outside of this neighborhood, but curious if anyone else in the Twin Cities is having these issues in their neck of the woods and why is nothing being done to fix it?
