Funny little comic reminded me of this thread.

There are still crosswalks, and even mid block crosswalks, all along University. I am confused if you are trying to say that this will divide the city or not?

Spill the Wine opened their new space in Uptown recently, at the corner of Lake and Bryant.

Yesterday was only a ceremony. There was no game. The first game is on Friday April 5.

For comparison.

Target DT HQ to Target BP campus - 14.6 miles

Target DT HQ to Best Buy HQ - 9.1 miles

Target DT HQ to EP Mall - 15.2 miles

I think the main difference is definitely in the feel. The 169-610 connection is in the middle of fields. Given a few years I am sure they will be developed.

Viktor, Thanks. I agree that the new growler law would be a great way to keep improving the local growing economy. (read: craft brew market)

So you don't think that Omar Ansari had a BIG deal with getting that bill past? I seem to recall that Surly actually hired their own lobbyists and really lead the charge on it.

I think you're trying to put a twist on what I am saying. Not cool, Bro.

You know, I was having a discussion about Surly at the Twins game yesterday. I wonder if they are getting any kind of kickback from all the small taprooms that have opened up? They are only possible because of Surly's political efforts. Maybe approving these loans are a sort of "thanks" fr...

Interesting idea. One flaw could be changing the field alignment. I have a feeling that baseball fields can only face certain directions because of the setting sun.

Just when I think my daily commute will be as ok as possible on 94.

This should be what we are talking about.

Having something like The Grove would be AMAZING! I done tailgating for both Vikings and Gopher games... it always ends up being more work than it's worth. A few problems I see with trying to change it: 1. The Grove is "no flame" and that would not go over well here. 2. What will happen to...

Is there a thread for this? http://m.startribune.com/?id=200158471

Yes. Here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=164

Hopefully this bodes well for the Ryan deal going through. http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/blog/real_estate/2013/03/star-tribune-searching-for-new-office.html Is it just me or is the map on this link incorrect? Seems to me that they have the streets labeled wrong. 3rd should be 4th, 4th s/b 5...

Primebar has closed: http://blogs.citypages.com/food/2013/03/primebar_closing_in_calhoun_square.php Not very sad to see this leave. Too chainy. What they really should do is reopen the original Figlio's in the space. The Figlio brand was bought by the CRAVE guys and they opened Figlio 2.0 (nickname...

Anything is artificially "nearby" at 60MPH on the freeway. Actually nearby is a different thing entirely.

Isn't that the beauty of terms like "nearby"? I've read articles about "Nearby Galaxies" and I am pretty sure that they are further away than National Camera.

Does anyone know how I can post .pdf of the survey that I received?

General demo info first, then asks about crime, neighborhood groups, and some specific sites (Target Field, HERC, etc) and asks if they are a benefit, then asks for future visions.

As you said, people have different definitions of nearby. I live in the North Loop and consider anything inside the 494/694 loop to be "nearby." From my place to GV National Camera is 7.9 miles, 13 min by car. To the Roseville location is 8.0 miles, 17 min by car. That is nearby to me. Jus...

To downtown Minneapolis? You have a very small "nearby" then, because I would consider bothe the Golden Valley and Roseville to be nearby.

Today I received a survey from a geography prof at the U (Dr. Brenda Kayzar) who is researching the revitalization of the North Loop.

The primary goal of the survey is to learn what everyday life is like in mixed use neighborhood; to the benefit of future planning.

Let me know if you want more info.
