So they just demolished the 2 buildings where Big Daddy's was. Apparently they won't be reopening in the new building once it's complete, but there might be a worker-owned co-op BBQ place there in it's place.

I hope something is worked out whether it's on existing rail or along 52. It seems to make too much sense to connect Rochester and MSP. How great is 52 during a snowstorm?

so you think the tower should never have been built?

this appears to be almost topped out already

wow this is beautiful. it looks like something that belongs in Streeterville or River North. can't wait!

yes. more of this needs to happen

i hope the modular construction will be cheaper and allow for cheaper market-rate rents
