I desperately wish we had more year round cafes or food stands in all of our parks.


I think the Trailhead's success shows the success of this. Folks are more likely to enjoy the parks if they have a place to warm up, get some food and a warm bathroom to change sweaty icky clothes.

Dave's Hot Chicken coming to the north loop in Duffy Lofts:

Alluded to in the Hy-Vee article, but there is speculation that Amazon Fresh will be opening multiple stores in the metro area in the not too distant future.


I'm just waiting here for Aldi to roll out their Shop & Go format at these locations. Perhaps the locations are too much $ for them ...

I went to grad school at St. Thomas, we would wind up there occasionally. Trust me, you did not miss a thing.

I went running near the construction in Kenilworth the other day. They've laid several segments of track in the corridor. My untrained eye says they have to be closer than 3 more years of construction. But who knows?

Ok I'm a bit more willing to believe Brightline (or a real private company and not some Chinese scam company this time) coming to Minneapolis might be possible in 10ish year, but based on what I've seen from the FL and Vegas projects I'm willing to bet 2 things
1) they'll probably build their own ...

I wonder if WF will build a new branch there? But I guess they would have broken ground already

I would shop here regularly when I lived in Uptown '18-'22. It was great. Daily essentials, coffee, bananas, and frozen pizzas a short walk away in a more walkable format than the Cub or Lunds. It was open until 10 pm and 11 pm Saturdays pre Covid & civil unrest. I still stand by my claim that ...

This is cool!

Able Brewery is closing. Rumor has it that BUCH hard kombucha bought the space.

I'm sad about this one not because of the beer, but that Able had one of the cooler taprooms in the city. Hard kombucha doesn't seem like it will match the vibe that Able built in its taproom.

I have a feeling that these two places are just new concepts from the same owners as Hammer and Fremont. I have no solid evidence to substantiate this other than that they're side-by-side and they're both going to be open to 2am.

Liquor Lyle's has new life. I have very mixed emotions about this. Very happy something is occupying the space. Sad about the rebranding.

I believe Vetaw's concern was the amount of emissions coming from empty busses driving up and down Hennepin

I drove by last night and the entire parking lot was fenced off. It was after business hours for the strip mall tenants, so maybe there's a fence for access there, but it didn't seem like it.

Dolphin Staffing building vibes?

Or a corporation looking for executive housing

Cranes are up for this. Should be fun to watch while at a Twins game.
