Re: Uptown Retail & Restaurant News
I don't remember the details, but I talked to one of the guys behind Mrs Dumpling at the Ward 7 convention, and he said basically that the landlord screwed them over and they'd probably end up having to break the lease. Obviously only hearing one side of it, but it clearly ended badly. At the time, ...

Re: Ward 10
It was an exciting convention! Good on Kendall for putting "anyone but Meg" above his own ambitions. I posted some pictures from the convention. I was a Bender alternate, so the pictures are kind of Bender-biased. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lewismd13/ ... 690187232/

Re: 2316-2320 Colfax Apartments
I mean, if you ask me, the whole Wedge could be in a pedestrian oriented overlay district. That gets you what, 25% break on parking? Problem solved.
And yes, I would like a pony, too.
But seriously, 24th and Bryant is too far away? Good lord, it's like a 30 second walk.

Re: Walker Library
Considering how stacked up traffic in the right lane of SB Hennepin has been at rush hour since they closed the turn lane for construction, I'm not sure eliminating it permanently is a great option. It seems like the high volume of traffic turning there combined with a lot of pedestrians is the prob...

Re: Uptown Restaurant News
What CAN make it in that space with rent that high? Parasole couldn't make it work, neither could this Primebar national chain... Will it just sit empty until Calhoun Square makes the rent more reasonable? And Republic opening certainly was one factor keeping me from going there. Why would I go to t...

Taxis, Uber, Lyft, etc.
[Originally titled "Uber hits the Twin Cities"] This isn't really transit, but I think issues related to taxi and limo service are important, too, especially in a car-oriented metro like MSP. Anyway, Uber's limo app is up and running here, and shockingly, taxi companies are trying to shut ...

Re: BUZZA Lofts of Uptown
I'm skeptical of "affordable housing" requirements in most forms. If we want more affordable housing in uptown, then we should build more. Places like Flux or Blue certainly aren't affordable in any sense of the word, but they take pressure off the older housing stock in Uptown, allowing t...

Re: Calhoun Square
Best Calhoun Square news I've heard lately: http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/dining/166424546.html The Republic opening a second location in the old Independent space! Uptown badly needs a good beer bar (yeah, Williams isn't it) and Republic is fantastic. They're aiming for November opening,...
