Unfortunately, it is also the only downtown park/greensapce because we have had this obsession with covering over paradise.
At the Peace rally this past weekend the added attraction of the Basilica Bells ringing added quite an aura to the event.
And , yes, even though there are over 80 parks and venues around the city where an outside rally could be held everyone does seem to gravitate to Loring Park the most.

I''ve noticed that a lot of protests and rallies in Minneapolis start or end at Loring Park. Why is that? There are dozens of other parks in the city.
Curious,
