Not necessarily related to Somalis. It feels much rougher than it has in the past. I never felt unsafe in the past, but now I do, quite often. The whole area seems much more run down. It’s just not as fun as I remember it, say 15-20 years ago. I can basically pick Fargo or St Cloud (distance, stores etc) and I’d choose Fargo 9 out of 10 times

I stopped going there because of the "love thy neighbor" crowd mostly.

It's behind a paywall, but you get the idea.

They were brought into the discussion because 1 poster wanted to make accusations and plush their agenda, evidently. From what I have read, there is a large Somali population in St Cloud, but I haven’t had many interactions or experiences with their community. With that said, not liking the town means that is the reason

To be fair, it is typically the first issue brought up about the downfall of St. Cloud. It's totally racist and xenophobic, everyone everywhere has bad people in their towns. St. Cloud was garbage well before the influx of recent immigrants
I believe that term has existed since roughly WWII.

Not sure if it's still a thing - but we used to joke about the term "Stearns County Syndrome" back in the day.

Driving in that town is like bare knuckle boxing a rabid bear as it is - thanks to all the lifted trucks. Add in a bunch of drunk hillbillies and... yikes.
