"We also look at 9th St (a dead end stub) as the perfect opportunity to host infamous Minneapolis block parties."

I do not think that word means what you think it means...
It could if they decide to take inspiration from something like Dore Alley.

I wasn't sure where else to put this, but a fire this morning gutted a significant portion of the discussed area.

Musicians are included. On the rental site there's a fairly lengthy list of who can be considered an artist.

Re: Stadium Parking Ramp Air Rights Development

I think this could be a cool addition elsewhere downtown though. (but with more glass)
And less purple.
Moar purple.
We could call it the Targaryen building.

(Also, I could picture this along Nicollet in Loring. Perhaps the NE corner of 15th and Nic.)

As someone who grew up in Duluth, there was a huge push on Facebook to promote voting. And then there was a push by the city and Mayor Don Ness, businesses offering free goodies if you voted, etc. I had a really hard time deciding between Minneapolis and Duluth when they faced off against each othe...

Yes, and the TC will be like the dry Kansas prairie.
More like Eastern Missouri or Southern Illinois. Most of the state is seeing increasing precipitation averages.

Re: Apartment Boom

I have a friend who rents a 1 br in downtown Anoka for $600 a month. I've lived in the same place in Whittier a block off of Lyndale since 2007. In that time my rent has gone from $700 to $765 a month which I thought was getting a bit steep. You guys are making me feel better. Yeah, that's not bad....

Meh. If someone doesn't care enough to do more than copy and paste, I probably wouldn't give a lot of weight to those specific emails either.
If they care enough to copy and paste a letter, they care enough to vote.

Artwork depicting Norse mythology EVERYWHERE. The Vikings could really run wild with the team's identity and come up with some borderline frightening imagery.
