Very cool.

Oh wow, yeah exactly what I was thinking. What an improvement. Seems like it would be cost-effective as well.

The tower could use some depth. Maybe just a subtle stain or even paint? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v731/FACEMOBB/CC1_zps76yjvsyu.jpg Lotta blue in that skyline. Maybe fake some of those reflective properties... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v731/FACEMOBB/CC2_zpsxpm8b8ec.jpg Or how about ...

yeah my point was more that instead of that beige lego block, it would be nice to have WF as the centerpiece of the Target Field view, but i digress.

I hate City Center so much.

And to think Wells Fargo tower sits just behind it. Ugh.

So this thing's gonna skip the densest part of the most economically challenged part of the city and cruise through a 126 yr old park? Well done.

Have we seen/shared this map yet: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/315/5/9/minneapolis_skyway_nov11_by_mike77777-d6ty4xs.png How accurate/useful is it? What would you change to make it more accurate and/or usable? Found this version done by Carticulate while browsing the new Walker MN site......

That's a bummer but not surprising. Hands down my favorite pad thai, but I've never experienced such consistently poor service.

I know that design is subjective, but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It looks like poorly stacked blocks. Now with gimmicky LED lights. Am I the only person with serious reservations about this design?

It feels tacky to me. I preferred the Mortenson design, but what do you do.

The skyways are also a fantastic recruiting tool when attracting out of state talent.

Not only does it still get brutally cold, the buildings create a piercing wind tunnel effect.

This thing looks like a flat rendering but in real life. It's odd.

For those of you calling for something more iconic, are there any relatively recent examples you can point to as high water marks? I'm fairly new to this world and would love to know what we're shooting for here.

Not to be overly negative, but this scenario seems so unlikely I chuckled.

This thing looks WAY out of proportion.

And village wok.

NOOOOOOOO

Sooo.... twincitizen posted this image from the swlrtcommunityworks.org website over on the SWLRT thread:

Still wish they would've put the Vikings stadium there.

Excuse my ignorance on the topic, but it seems odd this thing doesn't run down Hennepin, then Lake St / Excelsior.
