Re: Expo 2023

so what happens to this site in Fall 2027?
I wish they could spend the money updating The State Fair site. There could be dedicated buses to/from the airport, hotels, and both downtowns.

Re: Lake and Fremont - 15 stories

Maybe homeless people could pitch tents in the unused parking spaces? Hey can we chill out with this underhanded classist and somewhat racist remarks on the forum? That'd be cool. How is this racist? We need to stop this craziness with the race card in every argument. This is coming from a black man.

Re: Housing Market/Economics - General Topics

Also will we see more people in Woodbury take a job in Maple Grove if Work From Home is more prevalent?
I know that some people do this now, but will more people do this?

Re: Chanhassen - Chaska - Carver County - General Topics

that's too bad. You really felt isolated (in a good way) when you went to conference there. Now you will be in the Costco parking lot.
But the world needs more Costcos. :roll:

No, his inspiration was books on a shelf.

Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image

Thats understandable. I figure we could do both though. Would having an earlier bowl eliminate the chance to host the CFP national championship game? Levi's Stadium is hosting the Redbox bowl on Dec 31st and then the CFP Championship Game on Jan 7th. So yes, it can be done. Just need a Corporate Sp...

Re: Favorite Skyscrapers (old, new, proposed, cancelled)

Since not much is happening lately, I thought I would revive this thread... I thought it would be great to get the Burj Al Alam tower on the Benson Lot in Mpls. I think it would compliment the AT&T tower with the roof lines. Granted it would only be 750ft, because this is Minneapolis after all. ...

Saw a rendering of a losing bid for the air rights above Central Station on the Green Line today. Can't share much but I'm hoping whoever beat out the kick ass design I saw has an even better design. Fingers crossed for an announcement.
unexpected. hope to hear more soon.
