Is that going to be before or after the Sommerfest?

Sommerfest began last weekend. They had a small portion of the plaza open for the outdoor music.

Grand Opening is scheduled for July 18th.

Lyft Scooters rolled out in Minneapolis today.

When I walked by the plaza last night it appeared to be just about complete. All the fountains were on and the pool was full.

It will be so nice to have this space operational again.

There was talk a couple years ago of converting Northstar Center into residential. I haven't heard anything since.

Lime scooters are out in Minneapolis today.

There are a few Lime scooters out in Minneapolis right now.

Will the holiday market move back downtown once this is completed?

I really hope so. Loring Park is not the ideal location.

Injuries Force Lyft to Hit the Brakes on Its E-Bike Ambitions So it was a real disappointment late Sunday when the ride-hail company announced it would remove all of its electric bicycles—at least for the time being—due to reports of injury. “After a small number of reports and out of an abundance ...

I wonder why they sold. I thought they were still over 50% of building even with the new buildings over by the stadium.

Wells Fargo didn't own the building.

^this ebike event is happening today/tomorrow at the convention center: http://ebikechallenge.com I went to the event, and I tried the new electric niceride bike. These are going to be a gamechanger. They're so easy and fun. According to the staff on site, all the docked bikes are being switched ou...

Wow, pretty surprising the Skyscape one is closing, it's consistently busy whenever I go there. This will be a big negative for the neighborhood. Although maybe not surprising considering the sign in the dairy section today: https://i.imgur.com/rgWVhAU.jpg?1 Felony shoplifting requires $1000 worth ...

The CVS on Hennepin is consistently terrible. I stopped going there. If there are two people in line you'll wait for over 10 minutes. Many toiletries are locked up and you need a staff member to unlock it adding more time. I wouldn't be surprised if this one closes. The CVS on Portland doesn't have ...

Northstar extension to... Camp Ripley. http://knsiradio.com/news/local-news/lawmaker-wants-study-expand-northstar-mn?fbclid=IwAR0LrMeTXdY9IHxUHg0r2NqYed2FE3xInMBP0bUuLQdF5gdrK-exR3-M7_0 This is kind of a crazy logical leap: Representative Tim O’Driscoll says in case of a natural disaster, having a ...

I just saw the new C line bus running on Penn Ave.

The article said Northstar wouldn't offer a log term lease to Arby's.

I remember about a year reading that they were thinking of converting the building to apartments. Could this possibly be the reason they aren't offing a longer lease?

So I've been doing some holiday bike browsing/shopping lately. Is there anything I should look for (or common decisions to make) when it comes to ebikes? Also, are there any good holiday deals for bikes/ebikes? Since I'm looking for a utility-focused bike, stuff like this post (below) is pretty hel...

What happened to the Skyway connection to HCMC?

Another bus driver attacked in Minneapolis. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/04/20/metro-transit-police-investigating-another-assault-on-bus-driver Bus Drivers are assaulted more than you think. The last two was caught on video so TV love that. I understand that. I should have said another attack...
