About Le Parisien though is it's not abandoned. Just the retail hasn't leased, and having walked past it hundreds of times, it's a good looking building. Abandoned buildings that are falling apart and unkempt are bad for a neighborhood, sure, but no buildings going up around uptown will be abandoned...

I think its just them trying to diversify their holding away from just casinos, and considering the train wreck that was the downtown Minneapolis proposal casino I doubt they are looking for a casino in St. Paul.

Damn I think im excited now, too bad the building is still such an eyesore.

Drove by the site yesterday and they had barriers up and some dirt moved but I don't think I saw any construction just yet.

I always thought it was on Powderhorn, but I haven't watched the movie in about 15 years so idk.

Yeah pedestrian gate arms seems pretty silly, if the person isn't deterred from crossing by the flashing lights and blaring noise, I doubt a little gate would convince them.

House was reduced to rubble today.

Its a block from 110 Grant though, which is 350+, those people are just delusional.

God dammit if its another Walgreen's that will be so lame. Ugh.

The 12 was over 20 min late getting from uptown to downtown this morning. Would be nice to get some rail to uptown

I remember 2 years ago after a big snow, the 113, ALL the 113s were an hour+ late, then about 4 or 5 of them struggled up lyndale all at once. Good grief.

The con man and the dope. Perfect facial expressions.

I just drove by and it looked like the crane was in the Nic lot so I think you may be right.

If you look at the top 4 floors just in the photo above you can see that they are bigger than the rest.

God pictures like that just make the present so depressing.

haha oops I always thought the Wrigley Building was across the street, but that's the Tribune building I think eh brain fart on my part.

Is the NAR building the one with the clock tower next to the Trump building? I sure hope they don't rip that down, its a nice building.

This one should finally get going in December. An excerpt from the Star Tribune is below. From Star Trib "Mortenson Development plans to build a 30-story, 262-unit apartment tower called 4Marq at the corner of 4th Street and Marquette Avenue S. to complete the block. Mortenson spokesman Camero...

...at about 844 feet the OKC tower is a "Super Tall" given its relative placement; yet, it's just 50 feet taller than the IDS building (which IMO is amongst the classics, if not a top 20 world wide design). My friends, do you think it is a an aesthetically pleasing addition to OKC's downt...

Yikes just mapped OKC, they have literal empty grass lots 4 blocks from that tower, not even parking lots, just empty lots. To me its just kind of bizarre to build such a massive thing when there is so much empty space just a couple hundred feet away.

One of their reasons is that MARTA doesn't stop at Turner Field. While they are moving 5 miles from ANY mass transit. Oiy. Not to mention the stadium is 17 years old!!
