urbanMSP

Thank you for posting all that!

^^ this is the hardest one yet. I'll mourn this one for many years, and really hope Chef Jonathan Gans stays in our market.

I'm pleasantly surprised by this and see it as a totally appropriate, nice step forward for that part of town.

I heard they also nabbed Orvis, Crabtree & Evelyn, County Seat and FAO Schwarz.

Heads up: the Congress for New Urbanism's multi-day annual conference is being held in town this coming June 10-13.

They're also working on a six-story high-end housing development on Central Avenue in Columbia Heights.

There are also obvious concerns about safety, so some urban schools (like Primrose) like to take spaces that aren't directly accessed from the street.

Having brought friends from Boston (where I currently live) and San Francisco to Minneapolis, they were flabbergasted at how a place with such little street life and so much empty space could be considered a major city. And the thing is, Boston and San Francisco aren't even that big. San Francisco ...

Currently near Music Row in Nashville. No exaggeration, there must be more than 75 of these (Birds and Lime) within the four blocks closest to my hotel. I didn't realize the scale of usage outside of MPLS.

I rented my first Lime the other day and it felt more sketchy than the Birds. It seemed like there was less foot room and, in general, like it was more dangerous. Did survive scoot from south end of downtown up to Central and 22nd, which felt like an accomplishment.

Why wouldn't Central be included on that map? Any insight?

I'm shocked that came back so nicely upgraded. Now we just need a proposal for that Wells Fargo...

Let's use projectors to make it look like everybody in the skyway is actually on the sidewalk.

Why do you want people to walk on the sidewalk so badly? There's already a thriving pedestrian scene one floor higher.

I'm a joke maker.

Split-level retail is something I would love to more of in our city. Denver has a surprising amount of that in its downtown.

Never underestimate how much time sad people will dedicate to stupid shit, especially when any form of local government is involved.

Really enjoying this side track, as I'm pondering planting a new birch cluster in my front yard...

What do you all think about the reports that Target and Kroger might merge? While that brand doesn't have a big presence in our area, it's the second-largest retailer (behind Walmart) and 18th largest company in the U.S. according to Wiki... this could be good for downtown.

Is this retiredbanker?!

Thought the same thing when I read "point tower."

It's immediately adjacent to much taller buildings/the core, so it's much more bothersome than something like The Edition or most sites in the Mill District.
